Re: on-set of symptoms

I am sorry to hear of your situation. I handle VA claims and would need more information in order to better assess your situation.

I offer free initial consultations and would be happy to initiate a teleconference in order to save you in long distance charges.

If you would like to talk, let me know and we can set up an appointment.

This sounds typical of the VA. YOu probably do need someone to review your case. Do you have supportive medical opinions and documented stressors? What is the date of your most recent denial? You can email me with further details.
