i filed a claim and it was denied jan 2009. it was for MS while on active duty. at the time i didn't realize my c-file had zilch in it. i corrected that. all medical tests are in and not surprizingly the MS specialist will not commit to a diagnosis. all mimics have been ruled out. although he does want me to start on MS disease modifying drug injections soon.
so, i now realize that the VA will not commit to a diagnosis due to a disability claim thus they can and will continue to deny it. thousands of us vets i now know have & are going through this.
i'm in the process of trying to raise funds so i can see a non-VA neuro here in town. the National MS Society put me in touch with them. but that will take some time
question: what is the best course of action to get the VA to commit to a diagnosis? is this lawful that they can do this?
