My discharge...Oh A couple more things about the VA. My discharge physical never happened. the discharge processing clerk emptied my 201 files of all documentation and while every one else was getting their discharge physical I was sent to Bayonne New Jersey to pick up my returned car from Germany. I was never given any instructions at the time of discharge for filing claims. The officer and the supply Sargent that offered me 150 dollars for my field jacket for their black market operation before I went to pick up my car. after out processing, the officer only required me to turn in my filed jacket to clear my basic issue return. I was given a 10 % disability in 1974 after my second bout of malaria and I filed for my collective disabilities in 1979. VA drew blood for several years to prove I did not have recurring malaria. the only problem with that is the Malaria is not present in your blood if you are not in an active episode. because I did not have an active episode when the wanted me to I could not have recurring malaria. It usually comes around evry 3 to 5 tears and stress usually brings it on.

My claim for service connected disability benefits has been drawn out for 50 years. The hearing officer for 30 years claimed I filed a false claim because he states I could not have served in Vietnam and Germany with only three years active duty. My claim is for a 75% collective service connected disability. First I was drafted legally blind in my left eye due to a birth defect. then My right arm was severally injured, My teeth were destroyed, My hearing was diminished by four hours of heavy artillery fire. I contracted recurring malaria. evidence My elbow was operated on three times, documented. recurring malaria documented at least twice in nine years. the residual effects of recurring malaria cause both shoulders to dislocate frequently and my back is always out of place somewhere. My eye sight was damaged. My last duty station on my DD-214 says Germany for 8.5 months TDY and my first born child was born in the military hospital in Heidelberg. I have had several recurrences of Malaria not treated at the VA. I have a large hiatal hernia from the projectile vomiting with the malaria. But the hearing officer claims he does not believe me or the doctors. the VA owes me 602 consecutive months of unpaid service connected disability benefits. Most of those months are at 100%. the last evaluation was in July this year they finally looked at my DD-214. DC hearing ORDERED THE CLAIM SETTLED IN JUNE OF 2009 AND I WAS SENT ANOTHER LETTER of denial that stated why I was denied for the previous 30 years because I lied about serving in Germany. Not that I was not disabled. I had to retire at age 52 due to the disabilities. I am now 69. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
