Question
*Bergie*
In 1989 or 1990 I applied for comensation for pain in my neck, knees and ankles. The claim was denied because "nothing in my medical record supported the claim". I did not receiv a exal/exam xrays nothing. Last year I had to have surgery for worsening pain to my left ankle that caused a limp. The doctor thought she was just going to "clean out the joint". However she found and repaired a 10mm tear. Now keep in mind that I was in the 82nd airborne and made several jumps , the only thing in my medical record is complaints of sprained/twisted ankle. Can I now after 20 years re-open the claim wioth the new findings?
Respectfully,
Michael
