Berta,

What was the name and contact info for the Dr. that helped Vets. I think he would help service connect the disability. I hope I'm wording this correctly.

Thanks,

This is Dr. Craig Bash's web site- he doesn't do skin disorders or psychiatric evaluation but would most surely be able to refer a vet to another doctor for this type of opinion.

He gave me an excellent IMO in a week -after he received the files-

I had tabbed specific med records, SOCs, blood chem tests etc,

symptoms documented etc, etc, to make it all as easy I could for him.

I sent autopsy, Death cert and prior award letters and reports from VACO doctors too and

Rod-s DD 214. This was regarding a presumptive AO disease so he didnt need the SMRs, just proof of Vietnam service.

He worded the opinon as to exactly what the VA would need and be unable to question.

He also sent 8-9 pages of his curriculum Vitae as to his expertise particularily in reading MRI results of brain trauma in my claim.

He can estimate a fee by phone and will answer emails too.

Thanks Berta for the great help. I remembered seeing his name time after time on the old forum, but could not remember what his name was. Again thanks for the help.
