Compensation   The hardest thing i ever done was to get my service connected health issues. it has took me six years to get to 60 percent service connection, I caught Tuberculosis while serving in korea, leaving me a smothering problem that has affected my General civilian life, and as i have gotten older at the age of 57,my smothering has gotten worse, i am now in the process of appealing two claim, and its been almost a year now and i haveven't heared from va yet, i wish congress would do something to help veterns claim get workded faster, it seem unfair to have to wait so long after all the medical test are in, but that seem to be how it is at the present, us vet need to unite and push congress to help us get treated fair and in a timely manner in our claim processes, all i can say is this if you fighting va keep you boxing gloves on your going to need to believe me, they are a hard egg to crack...God bless all you fellowvet, and i hope you get what you deserve according to you service connected afflictions..God bless america...
