I have several questions which are at the end of my post, but here is some background information.
I got an email from CCK law firm with a link to this Youtube video. It indicates that the National Defense Authorization Act of 2021 was enacted and includes the three new AO presumptives: Bladder Cancer, Hypothyroidism, and Parkinson's-like symptoms (symptoms similar to Parkinson's without actually having a Parkinson's diagnosis).
My father served in Vietnam boots on the ground, non-combat, for one year and had a number of ailments arise over time both during and after service. He did file for one musculoskeletal disability in the early 1990s and won 10% SC, but nothing else. Whenever I asked him to consider filing new claims, he simply did not want to deal with it. I didn't question him, but brought the idea up periodically. Now, after many discussions, my father recently finally agreed to allow me to help him file new VA claims.
Here are the issues, some are AO-related:
Fortunately, he had not developed cancer.
My mother and I are working to write buddy letters to support each of the claims. She has letters, photographs, and even videos to help reinforce this.
Question: My father retired from the Army and has a 10% rating. If he happens to get 50% or more, would that mean he would get paid from both Army retirement and VA disability?
Question: Any recommendations or tips?
Question: Would he qualify under Nehmer?
Question: Under Nehmer, because he has never filed for any of these conditions, is there any chance for a backdated EED?
Thanks!
