Gez, I paid for this almost a year ago and they finally got it right. At first the soldier was saluting with his left arm. It took six months to fix that. Enjoy. Leave comments to help others if you got anything … Continue reading →

BVA–CIRRHOSIS DUE TO ACETAMINOPHEN

Posted on January 4, 2013 by asknod

Trust the VA, of all agencies, to come up with the proposition that eating Tylenol is perfectly okay if you have a liver disease. The recipe for success lies no further away than the closest VAMC next door to a University with … Continue reading →

BVA–HBV DUE TO COMBAT BLOOD EXPOSURE

Posted on January 4, 2013 by asknod

I love to read these. VA, in its haste to deny the Vet, sometimes forgets to read it’s own rules and regulations. They publish untold volumes of risk factor questionnaires but when it comes time to apply those assumptions, the VA examiner … Continue reading →

Posted on January 2, 2013 by asknod
