Hi fogdog;

Do you have anyone that you served with that can verify your combat action in Viet Nam? If so you can appeal to the medical board in DC concerning your claim. The best thing I can tell you to do is contact either the VVA or American Legion in your area. Also the Veterans representative from you county can help you file your claim.

Your Doctors from the VA can also submit their diagnosis to the board. You will need to go to the release of information at the VA hospital you get your care from and sign the release.

Good luck to you,
