I have Uveal Melanoma of the Choroid of my right eye. It is fairly rare and because of that a lot about it is still unknown and guess work. The VA can not treat it, they have sent me to a specialized eye cancer specialist (also kinda rare) and I also seeing a VA oncologist every six month for screening. There is a highly likely chance it will "pop up" somewhere else. My care although miserable has been outstanding. My question is can I get an increase of disablitiy on something that may or may not be service related where there is no real science?

If you file a claim for this the VA must establish service connection, so you need to help the VA help you by providing evidence that your condition is somehow related to or caused by military service, or maybe a secondary result of an already rated health condition.

You have cancer that is likely to metastasize, and you ask about a few hundred dollars ?
