Hello Randy,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having a very difficult time. It must be very rough to live with this and for your family.

I'm not sure what more I could do to voice anything to Command. Mike Burgess is your most effective voice there. With the documentation you've allowed him to share that is/should help VAC processes.

If I could know, you've indicated you have full disability, so then you're at 100% or more for VAC disability award amounts?

It sounds like your condition has been recognized by VAC (after appeals) and the Legion has the documentation to help others making similar claims and that can help them get recognition. My understanding is that the professional Command service officers circulate the successful processes within their organization. The best thing a veteran can do is get a Command service officer involved in their case(s), either directly or through a branch service officer such as myself.

I'm unclear at this point what else you would like VAC to address if your condition has recognition? It sounds like you're wanting legislation passed federally, and that seems like something for your MP, and others in Parliament, perhaps ministers, to be pushed into introducing legislation. I see you mention having spoken with your MP.

Yours,
Dave
