I was wondering if there has been any discussion about illnesses resulting from being in the 463X0 career field? In Sept 2015 I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia which my oncologist claims was a direct result of radiation exposure over the years. The VA denied my claim for disability and now I am in the 2 year backlog for appeal. I was wondering if any member or non-member that you might know that might have substantiating documentation that I might use in my pursuit of this claim. I recently had kidney cancer removed and one of the main causes of it was toxic solvents.
We are trying to find out any information on this as well. I have been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and my neurologist was astonished with the number and type of chemical and radiation exposure I've had in my career in 463... I am unable to find any information on this site about it. Maybe I don't know how to ferret it out? God bless you and good luck! If you find anything and would like to share:
