I am a veteran and for 4 years I have tried getting benefits from the VA for Multiple Sclerosis with no luck. It is in front of the appeals board in Washington DC. I have had no luck getting approved.
I have sent them 2 Dr. Notes that said I had MS in the 1970's when I was in the service. I just got a letter from th e Board sayinh they are looking for 2 other Dr.'s to look at it and let them know what they think. I even ask the MS Dr at the VA to state I had MS with Symptoms back in the 1970's and she said she will do that as only my MS specialist I see all the time can say if I had it back in the 1970's. I told this to the board and still asking for more Dr.s to look at it.
Is this normal? Can anyone tell me what other steps I need to do to get approved. I am thinking they are thinking they will denie my claim.
Any and all help will be great as I have 55 days before they say the outcome.
