I have been notified by Sherrod Browns office that the VA is stating they do not have evidence surrounding my VA claim that proves I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I clearly have an MRI that is standard and reliable for a diagnosis for MS.My MRI clearly states that the findings are consistent with Multiple Sclerosis. It also clearly states the findings are probable for MS along with my vision difficulties I was having. I have supplied the following 13 years of medical treatment for Multiple Sclerosis from Nero Science and the VA and Social Security, which coordinate and support the diagnosis of MS. I also have been approved for Social security disability for MS, which again proves that I indeed was diagnosed with MS. I have no other disease except for secondary issues that come along with MS which also proves this was indeed a diagnosis for MS besides all of this your requirements for receiving benefits is a diagnosis or proven symptoms regarding the disease which I clearly have. I should not and will not stand for this kind of treatment and will have someone higher up look into this. I have suffered with this debilitating disease for 19 years now and have not asked for anything and now that I am totally disabled I should not be treated in this manner. Again I have enough evidence showing I clearly have Multiple Sclerosis/and or symptoms of the disease starting in 1996. 5.5 years after my service with the Navy.
Thank you,
