    Presumptive Illness VA Claim(s)

    This is what I’m afraid of. I wonder what the best course of action is to get a claim approved under the Gulf War presumptive illness is. It’s like they are going against their own policy, and as the article says, it’s all dependent on who the veteran gets to diagnose, and review the claim.

    Another BCNR Denial Thread

    Hello all, and thanks for reading. I am mainly posting this, though, for other females who may deal with what I have, and still am dealing with. When I first researched on the web for my issues, I found NOTHING. For a little background information, I was an HM in the Navy for 10 almost 11 years...
