aplastic-anemia

[randy murphy]

I served in the USAF 1971-1975, I was a weapons mechanic and worked on the flight line 4 years. I was stationed at UBON RTAFB Thailand 1972-1973 during the Vietnam war. I have filed a claim for service connected through the DAV and have 20% disability for hearing and skin condition that occurred while I was in Thailand on my service records and medical records. I have now been diagnosed with aplastic anemia and very disabled. The VA sent me to Duke University for treatment, and I am on medication for autoimmune disorder and low platelets most likely for life. Herbicides were used at UBON while I was there, I was bitten by a misquote while I was there that laid a egg under my skin and two generations of antibodies of a very rare misquote only found in remote areas of South East Asia were present in my imune  system.I here been turned down for an increase in disability last September 2018. I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia November 2019. any help would be greatly appreciated.

So keep fighting!  Sounds like you are taking the fight to them.  Can you post the denial minus your personal information.  You should be within you year to file.  The more we know of what they said the more we can help.

Basically you need a Dr (specialist in the field that your claiming) to examine you and give his/her opinion on all this  from the time you contacted this diseases the onset of the disease  because they should go back to the onset date or the date you first reported it, but you will need medical documentation and a Qualified Doc to help you.  IMO/IME is what you are going to need.IMO/IME ..= (INDEPENDENT MEDICAL OPINION) / (INDEPENDENT Medical Exam)

if you have not done so you should request your complete updated C-File   and comb this complete C-File for any evidence of record to help substantiate your claim.
