Your email was not available and I would appreciate any information you could provide. My husband has Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, revent hypothyroidism, and now MDS, and we think he should persue the agent orange connection from 1969. Thank you.
Can you please send me information! How do I get in touch with you?
Except as otherwise provided by law, a claimant has the responsibility to present and support a claim for benefits. VA shall consider all information and lay and medical evidence of record in a case and when there is an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence regarding any issue material to the determination of a matter, VA shall give the benefit of the doubt to the claimant. 38 U.S.C.A. § 5107; 38 C.F.R. § 3.102; Gilbert v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 49, 53 (1990). To deny a claim on its merits, the evidence must preponderate against the claim. Alemany v. Brown, 9 Vet. App. 518, 519 (1996).
