I have Thailand claim for direct exposure herbicide for IHD/AICD and GERD well documented in private records. I am wondering if I should consider a SC approach on my claim as well since there is mention of issues during service.
My wife the RN completed a timeline of events in( C-file )during service that may be related to my now diagnosis in appeal at RO. Thoughts ? I have a abnormal EKG in my record that I just found.
Question: Is there any value in a IMO to pull all this together and make the case or ? thanks for reading > jim
