BVA–ETOH ≠ HCV… BUT JETGUNS DO

Posted on February 13, 2016 by asknod

A great jetgun win and one nexus letter was from none other than the Vet’s VA PCP. Of course, it did take a second letter from a civilian medical “expert” to seal the deal. Being a Vet, you have to understand … Continue reading →

VA ART IMITATES VA HUMOR 9 MONTHS LATER

Posted on February 4, 2016 by asknod

Posted on November 16, 2015 by asknod

Posted on November 13, 2015 by asknod

Here’s a daisy. Veterans Attorney Everett L. McKeown did a magnificent job of getting Johnny Vet his SC for Hepatitis. They found old STRs from his first period of enlistment and used them as the fulcrum to get his 2004 claim reopened. … Continue reading →
