Question
add55p
Va denied to use my buddy letter from a fellow soldier that was stationed and witness my in service accident, my wife statement, who has was married to me and witnessed my multiple in service hospital visits, and my current physician statement, who wrote that it was likely that my current condition was related to my in service trauma.
To discount my buddy letter and wife statement, the VA stated Sanchez v. West "That pain alone, without a diagnosis or underlying malady or condition, does not in and of itself constitute a disability for which service connection may be granted".
To discount my physician´s statement, the VA stated "There is no evidence that you were injured on active duty as Service Medical Records were unavailable for review".
How do you recommend that I proceed. I have 11 months and 10 days to respond to the decision.
Thanks
