[Motherfather]

no c plus its not from bad water no one knows yet.as there are people here who have never drank bad water.one day they might know but not now.

I think the OP is referring to VA coverage of disability, as in people who were in the military and exposed to Agent Orange in the Vietnam war who develop Parkinson's are automatically covered in full by the VA, same with the large number of Vets that were at Ft. Lejeune.

[Motherfather in reply to arwenmark]

yes i can understand that mark all that stuff they dropped in vietnam but i think they inhaled very bad stuff even worse than the pd we have as when they went home a lot of there kids became deformed i remember reading about it but then they still dont have any idea what causes it.so one day we might find out.anyway im of to china shortly for stem cell treatment..ill let every one know what happens.regards john.

Are you concerned personally or professional.....

[AmyLindy]

Me too, it's a presumptive illness for VA disability. Just had my exam at the local VA. Took several months but at least I'm

In the system now and might get a rating in the next few weeks. Standing by...

Glad things are moving through the VA system for you. When you get notification be sure to check out the life insurance you can purchase at the time of your rating. You will never be able to get life insurance with your Parkinson's diagnosis.

Wow/thx!

The usmc has admitted to the bad water- with all kinds of chemicals causing different cancers and Parkinsons. you can check it out on line at Camp Lejeune: Past Water Contamination. The government doesn't admit to problems till most of the people have died- as in Agent Orange. Bless you AmyLindy. Just gathering my documentation now.
