I developed Prostate cancer in 2015, treated and cancer is in remission. Filed a claim, received 100% then, after treatment, reduced to 40% where I am at today.
The process went fairly quickly. All I had to do was prove I was in Vietnam (boots on the ground) and that I had prostate cancer.

Were you "boots on the ground?"
Also, they just made some changes to include some "blue-water" Navy. You may want to check again.
