Well here we go I am just beginning the tests to qualify for a Liver transplant under the VA system. It does not guarantee you a liver and you must still wait till you are at or near the top of the list, But it does determine if the VA will consider you for a transplant.

You have earned more than a liver by your service to our country. I wish you the best!

Good luck with your disability claim. I have assumed that since you're filing with VA you are a veteran. Veterans always have my support. If that's not the case then I wish you good luck anyway
