Speaking of storms, here’s a daisy. This Vet assembled a compendium of perfect nexus letters from several doctors. Their resumes were particularly impressive as was their detail to the facts regarding the Vet’s etiology. Every step in the path to service connection was artfully accomplished in such a way as to protect his credibility. The timing of the claim after discovery of the disease was well-ordered. That this wasn’t granted at the St. Pete RO shows the unwillingness of the hierarchy of the RO to go out on a limb and say “jetgun”. In spite of extraordinary effort, he still had to go to 810 Vermin Ave. NW. for his reward.

VL Judge Dilorenzo does himself proud with this one rather that some inane denial that will end up back on his desk later.
