I'm new at this so bear with me please. I filed a claim in 2004 via the internet. Months went by before I got a response from the VA.
In the packet of papers they sent was a note telling me to sign the signature sheet and that I had forgotten to do it when I filed.there was no way for me to sign a sheet that didn't exist on the website.
The last letter I got from them asks me if I have any new evidence to present to them before they make a decision on my claim filed November 2005, almost a year after I filed on the web.
Are they trying to pull something here?
Also, my claim is for exposure to JP-4 and consists NHL,migraines,seizures, and brain tumor. Just recently I was diagnosed with a rare tumor (syringamatoid eccrine carcinoma) on my scalp with possible lymph node involvement. I'm having surgery this week for that and then skin grafts and blood vessels replaced on my head 2 weeks after if no further complications.
Should I submit this info to the VA? I've read on this site that they use this new evidence as a way of changing the effective date. Can you give any more info on which doctor to get a 'nexus' letter from?
I know some of you have already addressed some of these issues but I am a little overwhelmed and confused right now,so if you could try to explain it again I would appreciate any input.
