Wow, beats my 3 years waiting years ago for upgrades to worsening service connection ratings for

Shell fragment wounds in leg, chest, shoulder, back.
Shell fragments left in one leg and one lung.
25% muscle loss in leg and chest from shredded muscle tissue replaced by scar tissue.
Hearing loss/tinnitus from the explosion.

still waiting for ..... 46yrs after leaving the jungle

Agent Orange exposure service connection rating for
prostate tumor for the last 25yrs, now to be fair I did have a 10% rating for AO caused benign tumor prostate cancer back in 1998, but 2 yrs later in 2000 they yanked the 10% back off stating the tumor had to be malignant and active, benign wouldn't cut it. I told them i'd get back to them when it went malignant.
and
chloracne from dioxin exposure


Am glad to see the lines get shorter, or do they ?
It will be interesting to see if he gets service connection for the Aching Joints, plus getting them to list sleep apnea as service connected had to of been a chore.
I would jump on that like a cop on a donut.
