Question
Cavman 2
I have 2 vets that have asked for my help in filing a claim for them. I would like you guys and gals thoughts. Many of you are very knowlegable and helpful. I love reading your post.
(1) This guy is almost 70 and can`t hear a lick hardly. He tells me he has had ringing in both ears since he was on an aircraft carrier during the Korean war. He is a pitiful old man. He is retired and keeps applying for jobs at Wal Mart and everywhere and no one will hire him because of his hearing. He works his but off around his house daily and is very hyper even at his age. He tells me he lost his hearing in the Navy. They were never given any kind of ear protection back then and he worked the flight deck daily. I did file him a loss of hearing and tinnitus claim. He does have documented terrible hearing. Waste of time?
(2) This guy is in his 20`s and served on the Roosevelt in the Middle East. I can`t believe an old Army recon vet is helping these deck swabbies. I also filed him a tinnitus claim because he slept in a rack right by some sort of loud generator motor for 2 years and he has ringing. He also developed a terrible rash on the ship and the docs at sick call could never diagnose it. They did treat it for temporary relief only. He also has seen 3 doctors since getting out of the Navy with the same results. Waste of time? I only help these guys if I think they are being honest and have a legit military responsible case.
