Blue Water Vet Ao

[Laurie]

Hi Everyone

Just did an up date on my Dad in Social Chat and the lost of my mother.

I have been also trying to help my Father-in-law who has Mulitple Myeloma. Dad 2 was dianosed with the myeloma in June 2006. Dad 2 served 3 tours in Viet Nam on air craft carriers stationed at Yankee Station.

Ships were the USS Dale and USS Hornet (CVSG-57).

I wrote the claim using the Haas case, request 100% SC for AO exposure. Dad 2 is currently in Chemotherapy for the myeloma is showing a level 80% in the bone marrow. Dad 2 is still trying to work at the age of 75 selling real estate. Dad is a retired Officer from the Navy Lt Commandor.

The last I saw on the Haas case was the VA was putting all new claims on hold till the VA could appeal the Haas ruling. Dad 2 never step foot on land in Viet Nam and was not in the DMZ as was Dad 1 was.

Many of the rulings I used for my Dad (1) to get the AO on the blue water SC does not apply with my Father-in-law (Dad 2). Any help with this new claim would be of help and any new updated information of where the VA is on dealing with new claims resulting from the Haas rulings.

Thank you in advance -

Laurie

Laurie- I am so sorry to hear that your mother died-

I haven't read this in Social yet.

I am so glad to see you post.

This vet should certainly make sure the claim is filed.

There is a Stay proceeding in the Haas case- all AO Blue Water vet claims are on hold-

VA is fighting against this ruling but many vet orgs are fighting to keep the decision.

NVLSP has advice for these claims at :

Also there was some recent discussion here as to the latest info on the Haas case.
