Did you get help from the DAV. My son was a veteran's advocate for years. It is the greatest thing that he could do in my opinion. He got many vets their disabilities from the VA. I know a man that lost his hearing from artillery and was discharged- he never could get the VA to give him a disability. He did regain some hearing and they say that he only has tinnitus. I wish I met him before David retired. I think he could've made the VA do the right thing.
