ok guys , its me again .
i was awaiting a response from the va on my claim . i spoke to the va rep just a day ago and he told me they had made a descision on my claim and it was denied . i should recieve the letter explaining why and what to do next . i turned in every record i had and even things i did nt know existed . i even had documentation from my ex supervisor and a written statement along with his sworn testimony. the thing is they know there is scaring in my lungs and to what extent they took the exrays and there own doctor read them during the last exam the sent me to but it seems he couldnt tell to what extent the scaring was to . they scheduled me for a biopsy of by lung but just before deciding my claim cancled sending me a letter saying they had enogh evidence without the exam to decide my claim so the cancled the appointment .
i live in alabama , and with my lung condition there is very little to nothing i am able to do it seems to get worse as time goes on which isnt bothering me to much . i read some where on a post that there is a doctor who can read these exrays and is va approved or something like that the thing is . i believe if i had had the biopsy as sceduled , if not for the va canceling the appointment on me after i agreed to go the biopsy would have proven my claim without any question along with the other records . .is there a doctor in the state of alabama who can and will look at my exrays and report on his findings , my funds are limited do to the fact that the only income i have is the va check i recieve from uncle and if any of you get one you know what i mean . after taking care of expenses there is very little left but i can make payments for these services if there is a doctor in my area or any where close by any info will be greatly appreciated i dont know how long i have left but the time i do have, i will spend it fighting
