Received word today on my new claim with the VA....seems I must have checked SAH and since I didn't submit a 26-4555 the claim will not be a FDC now, but will be standard claim...I must have been crossed eyed and I didn't see or mean to do this in my claim, is it to late to say, 'never mind'? and if I can will my claim got back to a FDC?

Also I claimed exposure to the contaminated drinking water at Lejeune....It then stated my personnel records show I was at New River, and plz submit evidence of service at Lejeune....I submitted some papework that stated being stationed at New River was also considered as being part of the Lejeune problem...did I misread or was I freaken plain wrong?

I never said it wasn't solid advise bud...infact I informed you that I called "Peggy" so that would lead one to think the advise was taken, yes? I am guilty of asking the question on a few forums, yes, and I explained as such. Its not like you suggested "Peggy" and I blew it off...so again, thanks and my question was answered by your SOLID advise....not sure what else I can do for you bud, if you were closer I'd buy you a beer or something, lol

I think you are taking what I'm saying wrong. Glad you got it was an easy fix!

BTW I'm a female.

"He also said about the drinking water, yes as far as he understands, New River is covered in the LeJeune situation.....I found some more supporting docs stating such, so he said to fax that in as well, and explain it again."

Wow that is news to me....can you share what other docs you have to support that on New River?

All I have is this one from ATSDR and something newer might have come out.:
