Read this jetgun decision and scratch your head. VLJ U.R. Powell is no spring chicken The good judge has had a vast wealth of experience denying claims and has indeed turned down hundreds, if not thousands, of claims just like this. Why then the rush, nay stampede, to the Veteran’s side and a reversal of the “probative” nexus of the vA examiner? This decision makes no sense unless the Vet is a blood relative or promises were made and gifts were exchanged in the parking garage. I have read literally tens of thousands of these and have seen only one other that beggars the imagination.
Yep. A real, honest to God, clean, jetgun win with no hassles, and no benefit of the doubt. Simply amazing.


Is the jetgun desion going to be like agent orange
We all hoped so for years. It looks like each one has to be won the old fashioned way- with a doctor’s medical opinion that says the HCV = the jetgun.. Even if it had been granted presumptive, they would put about a hundred “Except on Thursdays” in it.
This is great. But it is no time to let up in our epic quest to see all HCV veterans protected under the presumptive illness laws. Whether the veteran has “active” HCV, or is suffering from the aftereffects of treatment or the disease, the spread of HCV infections is not, and never has been, the fault of military veterans.
