When I applied for disabality in Aril of 1970 for back injuries and pain, I was told I had Spina Bifidia so I was turned down. That I was born with it and had no claim.

When I fought and finally got a 20% was for spondilisis and spondylisis which was on my exiting exams.

The exit exam xrays showed these conditions when I was released in March 1970 but theVA said did not show up on the xrays in April 1970.

My attorneys fought for 9 years from 1995 to 2004 before I was finally SC'd for this and only after one of my attorneys father in law reviewed my records and wrote a 15 page statement to the VA proving that the VA was wrong and why.

He taught radiolgy at a major university and his cerditionals took 5 pages of the statement including working at a VA hospital in Conn..

His statement said that his opinions was resulting from my military records and current VA medicial records. But the VA only backed up two years so I filed an appeal in 2005 and have been through the St.Louis RO, the BVA and am now waiting for the Court of Veterns Appeals.

It took 34 years to get my first SC"d disabality and that was after I got some tips, ideas, and support from the HADIT crew.

Moral is don't believe the VA -- keep fighting for Truth and Justice the American way.
