SHAD 11 Study near completion


willyd

Question

If the results of this SHAD II study indicate a difference in outcome between the SHAD participants and the comparison population, or if the study finds new information that would warrant new research avenues, MFUA will be prepared to conduct additional research as appropriate.

This study is sponsored by the U.S. Veterans Administration. Effective 6/10/2015, the study will conclude January 15, 2016.

It makes me wonder if there are any survivors left out there. It would not be a surprise if the study results were delayed until everyone succumbed to the residuals.

Folks, I've read to the IOM report a few times.  I don't see the VBA changes the claim adjudication based upon the study (been wrong before).  If you are dealing with the issue, first identify which chemical/biological agent you were exposed to.  Providing general information to your physician about SHAD/112 is not going to be of benefit since that type of exposure differed significantly among service members.

Vync, recent IOM study really focuses on morbidity so there are charts identifying the number exposed, still living, etc..

That report is  Backloaded crock of horse crap. 

 

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

i figured that. I have not had time to read through it yet, but jbasser summed it up pretty nicely.

I never heard of this project until just a few years ago after reading info TestVet posted here on Hadit. If I recall, he or someone else, actually was in a documentary about government cover ups. I watched it on TV and learned more.

This leaves me to wonder if our government will ever consider it on par with other issues like AO and Gulf War syndrome. I hope they do. They did horrible things to those folks and need to be held accountable for it.

Hello All,, Fort Greely part of the main part of Project 112 has plenty of sites and lots of folks , such as me and my fueler . I got sick in 1997 and heavy Doctors testing concluded I have Severe Peripheral Nueuropathy of both feet and legs arms and hands with and AO and Nuclear as the cause. Now I have Pulmonary Hypertension, COPD, Restricted Lung disease , Pulmonary Fibrosis, Granulomatosis on my right lobe. On Oxygen for life. I have Agent Orange IHD with a Heart Attack , Congestive Heart Failiure . Colitus /IBD......RA with auto immune disease, Dry Eys, Agent Orange Prostate Cancer stage 3,  Thyroid tumor on Thyroid. Colon tumors..... Yes there is nothing wrong with Fort Greely and Project 112/Shad or so "they" would have us believe. 

 

My fueler just got home from the hospital last week and they took out 1/3 of his upper left lung , 5 ribs because of cancer, and he goes back in to have his Adrinal Gland removed the end of this month and then to see another doctor on how to remove/treat a cancer on his Aorta on the heart. He was my best buddy and we were engineers(Heavy Equipment) going right thru the test ranges and hacking the Nuclear radiation waste dumping into the Jarvis Creek  and the Agent Orange all over the base from the Allen Army Airfield to all the dumps and right aways , ALL the ranges,,  Washington , Texas, Oklahoma, Delta, and of course the Gerstle RIver , The Trident Glacier training range Bolio lakes, Twin lakes, and Black Rapids.

 

As Jbasser said HC .......it is so ridiculous for VA to  deny , delay and let them die.  So what else is new with VA???

What about all of those people that were not in the Test but stationed as Permanent Party and had Jobs of trying to clean up the messes these test left behind???

 

What about the 2 soldiers from the Gerstle that were medivaced from  the Ft Greely clinic to Ft Wainwright in Nov 1971...DOA. Autopsies later saying died from Pneumonia. Oh really......... What about their dependents and loved ones ? How are they dealing with this lie?

We all cringed when we had to go there an clean up ? Not knowing what but if and when.

 

And the Reactor(SM1a prototype) .....probably the biggest coverup of all time. Everyone from about 64-75 and longer is radiated

.

 

ALL  THESE RANGES FOLKS..... It is not Fort Greely......IT IS TUMORVILLE.......Fort Tumor.. NEVER GIVE UP> BLESSINGS< C.C.

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
