While this decision doesn’t set precedence, we hope it is a harbinger of better things to come. This Vet won his claim by carefully preparing it. he has good nexus letters from several doctors who attest that the jetgun is the culprit. He does have combat blood exposure and claims to have had a transfusion, but that evidence is not conclusive. This VLJ in essence is giving him SC based on the jetgun. And we thought all those pictures of guys in skivvies waiting for their date with the gun in basic were for naught. This Vet was smarter. He claims he’s in the picture. What the Hey! He won.Onwards through the fog. Vote for Oat Willie. One small step for Hepkind.
