I just filed myself. The Pact Act presumes my year on the DMZ precipitated the prostate cancer by moving around in foliage covered in AO, and breathing smoke from the burning of that foliage. You wouldn't call me disabled either, but seems a pact should be a pact. We now "wait and monitor" the cancer to see if something else kills me first before either extraction or burn it up with a phaser, lol. VA has given me acknowledgement for receipt of the claim and expect some sort of ruling within 4 months. I didn't retire from the service but have good Medicare coverage.
