Several months ago I finally had a "Burn Pit" (Environmental Exposure) examination. The letter that I received a few weeks later stated that I have a "presumptive" service connection due to Irritable Bowel Syndrome and I was invited in the letter to apply for compensation.
I've never known the VA to invite people to apply for something that would cost them money. I have been concerned about the overall effects of the burn pits for years, but it was only a couple of years ago when I started discovering that many other illnesses have been linked to burn pit exposure. I have been far more concerned about my problems breathing but it is practically impossible to pursue that despite now being on a rescue and COPD inhaler.
Has anyone else had a favorable outcome when the VA invited you to apply?
