HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 5, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 5, 2010 Iracrecall Do you remember the 1st Aviation Brigade in Vietnam? I was with them for a while. I can't believe they called you back to serve in Iraq forth years later. You pilots in Nam were the best in the world. I assume you flew at treetop level with gunship overhead to come in and kill those crazy enough to shot at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I posted somewhere this AM as to what the chronic Presumptive reg means and that the "one year" means that a successful claim if awarded with get day after discharge as the EED for the retro. Chronic presumptives are due to a liberalizing law and many reps (and the VA too) do not understand what this type of presumptive disability is.There is a list. The VA holds to the list. However a claim for direct SC instead of presumptive can be awarded too within the first year after service.
