Looking for someone who knows I had an office on the flightline for VA benefits https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/looking-for-someone-who-knows-i-had-an-office-on-the-flightline-for-va-benefits <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have had significant hearing loss and one of the request by the VA is to look for "buddy certificates". 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.

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?

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.
