I Need Letters From Vets That Had Contact With Petroleum Chemicals On The Job, Active Duty

[retiredat44]

Please,

I need letters from Vets that had contact with petroleum chemicals on the job, active duty. I need to submit letters from vets who worked with chemicals, if possible those vets that had contact and worked with petroleum chemicals, fuels, Jet Fuel, Gasoline, Diesel, Trichloroethylene, etc. Would like statements about contact, clothing, skin, etc. Number of times, estimates, etc. Any protective clothing, if any. Dates of service. Any other info. I need these letters to add to my evidence for a future hearing for my VA disability appeals.

These letters need not be long, just short and to the point, but enough information so they are presentable. Contact information needed in case the BVA judges need to contact for any clarification.

Thank you,

PM me. of post for me to contact.

You need these letters from the people you worked with. I don't think letters on the chemicals have any value. You can get all the information in the world by searching Trichloroethylene and the others. Try the EPA and CDC. Look for superfund clean up sites.

I will send you my email by PM. I will then send you many links.

retiredat44,

Another thought. Copies of IMOs or other documentation used by other veterans who had exposure to any of the chemicals named in your posts and succeeded with their claims. Hopefully, the IMOs or other documentation would contain reasonable medical rationale you could possibly use and the IMOs would also provide you with the names and contact info on specialists who might provide assistance with your claims. The veterans could black out their personal info or communicate with you via PM.

Good luck to you.

hi,

again, even letters form people who had experienced working with and contact are helpful, I was careful on my wording on what I am looking for... yes, also letters from people I knew... but even if I didn't know at least people who had the contact with... etc.... it is all helpful, I can sort out later...

Ditto here!!! Since I was stationed at Schofield Barracks (89-92), I found out that is was on the EPA's Superfund cleanup list for TCE (Trichloroethylene) being in the drinking water on post. Im also researching as to what avenue of approach I should take with this. This is alot like the Marine Corps Camp Lejeune's mess: http://www.legion.org/magazine/213476/camp-lejeune%E2%80%99s-toxic-legacy

Ranger wouldn't you have to have the symptoms to file for TCE?& it's causes? if you do then the benefit of doubt goes with the veteran.

but what your meaning I am not familiar with the EPA Superfund?
