Question
*Bergie*
I am new to this web site I stumbled upon this site by accident this am and have been reading since I'm exstatic that such a sit exists. I've learned more today than ever about c&p, thanks to all of you for the info. I have many questions but will start with this one.
In 1989 or 1990 I filed a claim for ankles, knees, and neck pain. I never received any examination, xrays or anything. Several months later I received a letter denying my claim for " no documentation in my UHR to support the stated claim". I was in the 82nd airborne for 4yrs and made 43 jumps, mind you. In Sep. 08 I had routine surgery on my left ankle because I developed a limp in the morning with alot of pain. The surgeon thought she would simply "clean out the joint" but discovered a 10mm tear. The tear was repaired and she explained that she was surprised that I was not walking with a limp all the time. My UHR listed several "sprained/swisted ankles but nothing else. Can I 20 years later refile this claim based on the surgical discovery, and fact that I received NO medical examination?
Thank you in advance,
Bergie
