This is a great case. Vet joins Army. Vet gets hep right before going to RVN. Goes to RVN and gets hosed when Buddy gets blown away right beside him. Vet gets bad case of PTSD. Vet discovers the joy of Opium and Buds. Vet starts smoking H. Vet comes home with raging habit from PTSD. Vet discovers Hep in 2002. VA immediately starts down the IVDU warpath and blames it all on willful misconduct and infectious hepatitis. Big problem- Vet only has viral hep(B) and the big C. After 5 years of running him around in circles, VA caves in and grants the SC for hep. But by God, do you think they are gonna give him that SC for drug addiction. No way, dude. Absolutely not.

I gotta hand it to those boys down at VVA. They have some sharp SOs working for them. I see more hep claims approved statistically by Vietnam Veterans of America than any other VSO outfit defending Vets. If you really must use one, I would suggest them, and only them. But I still would supervise the bejesus out of him/her. Nobody’s perfect at this business and 2 heads are better than one.
