0 Moderator broncovet Posted January 19, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2020 Well, yes, its "evidence", the question is whether the evidence is probative and credible. If you can use it to support your position that you were in a war zone at a particular time, that may suffice. The Board "weighs" the credibility of the Veterans testimony. They can reject the Veterans testimony, but must give a well reasoned bases for doing so. So, for example, if this evidence "was consitent" with other evidence, then it would (based on the discretion of the decision maker) probably fly. However, if the Veteran were caught in OTHER lies, then his entire testimony could be discredited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 blahsaysme2u Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 looks like everything has been redacted. i cant search for anything significant. anyone have any suggestions on using this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator broncovet Posted January 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Yes. I have a suggestion: Dont use wiki leaks. Use a more credible website, like WebMD, or, better yet, direct scientific research. The best research for claims is probably VBM and or CAVC claims search. BVA claims search is also helpful, but BVA appeals are all non precedent setting. Edited January 20, 2020 by broncovet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean when you say VBM? Here's the whole M-21 manual right here in their website. https://www.knowva.ebenefits.va.gov/system/templates/selfservice/va_ssnew/help/cu
