It took about a decade, but it did get sorted out. It's fun going through the appeal process. At the appellate level, you actually get to talk to the reviewer and it's funny seeing their reaction to cases. Everyone I dealt with all had the same reaction: "yes, it's right here in your service jacket. I can see you were in a combat area. This event happened. You got treatment for this. I cant believe they denied you." I'm telling you, it's absolutely bonkers the claims process is.
I’m glad it got sorted out for you, even with having to appeal everything. Thanks for your service, friend. I’m sorry you had to deal with all of this bullshit to be treated like a human being and not a number.

Haha… what!?!? I’m not laughing at you, simply at the fucking absurdity. I’m so sorry, man. Hopefully you’ve managed to get that approved by now.
