Question
NSA-Saigon-ET
Hi everyone,
I had a claim filed in 2008 for a tumor on my neck. I had it removed from a private hospital back in 1999.
It was a benign tumor. I beleived it was due to AO exposure in 1969-70 Vietnam.
I filed in Houston and was denied.
I have filed a NOD and requested a local hearing and DRO. It should be coming up in January 2011.
I know now that I can't get anywhere with the tumor, but I can get a 10% rating for the scar and numbness caused by the surgery.
This is a simple claim, but I have learned to run it by the boards just in case.
I have attached it here.
Comments please!
