Active duty friends seem to have scattered to the winds. I keep in touch with one but she can't verify what I need for this. 2016-01-04T22:20:51-05:00 MSgt Rosemary Connolly 1215361

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Other than "Buddy Certificates" through Active duty friends are there other supporting documents? A map that shows your proximity to the flightline as well as an old appointment letter?<br /><br />Dumb question alert!<br />Do you also have facebook and are canvassing through your friends list as well?

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The VA denied my claim for tinnitus even though my MOS was organizational level and I spent hours on the flight-line and flight-deck while in and around aircraft. They claimed I lacked evidence for a valid claim. Yet, my son who worked in logistics was given a disability rating for the same condition and he didn't spend a quarter of the time around aircraft.<br /><br />Edit: Their system of claims approval sucks.
