Re: MS_ Veterans - Service Connected Disability
You need to get ahold of the records that show your symptoms at 3 years out. See if you county has a Veterans Service Officer that can help you out. Without the records you have no link to diagnosis within the 7 year window.Wheelz wrote:!! What do I do? Honorably discharged from the Army in 1987 and within 3 years, started having symptoms of what was eventually diagnosed as MS in 1996. Numbness and tingling I believed to be just a pinched nerve, were treated by chiropractors. Years of this reoccurring problem Finally led me to getting an EMG, which showed I had no pinched nerves. Finally went to neurologist and was diagnosed with RRMS. All that background to ask this question. How do I find these old medical records, to show a pattern and provide proof, when hospitals do not keep records back that far?

Hi Lois,Lois wrote:Hi my name is Lois, my Husband was a Marine from 1972 to 1993, he worked on A4’s, F18, and T39. His signs of MS started In 1981, but he was not diagnosed until 2008. I’m trying to get VA disability but have to get military connection, which I have found the use of trichloroethane and other solvents used to clean aircraft parts. Cause or maybe a trigger of MS. I was wondering if there others that used this chemical and was able to get VA connection.
You may be interested in the following paper discussing organic solvents and MS risk.
