Why wouldn’t the VA or BCNR acknowledge Navy occupational injury first covered by 5th Congress 1798 Covered for Sick and Disabled Seaman?

It literally seams ludicrous

You could have such a job

And when you have some medical issues and go to proper authority to acknowledge such injury or illness caused by such job, receive denials that never reference the details of your job?

see also Hayburn's Case, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) at 410, n. ("[M]any unfortunate and meritorious
[veterans], whom Congress have justly thought proper objects of immediate relief, may suffer
great distress, even by a short delay, and may be utterly ruined, by a long one.").

From the beginning of the Republic, statutory construction concerning congressional
promises to veterans has been of great concern. "By the act concerning invalids, passed in June,
1794, vol. 3. p. 112, the secretary at war is ordered to place on the pension list, all persons whose
names are contained in a report previously made by him to congress. If he should refuse to do so,
would the wounded veteran be without remedy? Is it to be contended that where the law, in precise
terms, directs the performance of an act, in which an individual is interested, the law is incapable
of securing obedience to its mandate? Is it on account of the character of the person against whom
the complaint is made? Is it to be contended that the heads of departments are not amenable to the
laws of their country?" Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 164, 2 L. Ed. 60, 69 (1803).

The Navy has conducted safety and occupational health (SOH) programs for many years. These programs gained special prominence after passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) in 1970.
The Navy’s OSH program manual is contained in reference (b). Due to the many unique and specific situations associated with forces afloat,

PO3 Aaron Hassay Probably for the same reason why the VA says my TBI from an IED in Iraq isn't service connected. It's called low balling us.
