The VA sent me to a C&P when I lived in Las Vegas. I thought the examination went very well, it seemed they were saying they were agreeing with me but I think they misunderstood what happened to me when I was still on the ship, mild shaking but bot as bad as when I hit 40, I thought it was due to my starting to drink coffee....I quit the coffee and some minor shaking stopped.... self diagnosed at age 19. It got very bad starting age 40 when I sought help by a neurologist and I have been on medication to control it ever since, but my handwriting made my payroll management career very difficult to hide my issue.....I hid it until 2017 when I could no longer work and my doctor put me on disability leave and am still on it, I can never do the work I did in my career ever again. I am unemployable in part because of other issues. Anyway, the C&P came back from the VA and I was shocked to read their hard line about there being no relationship between exposure and the tremors. We know for sure the exposure, they don't deny that, but in addition I read that offspring of those exposed have issues with their spines....and yes, my 34 year old has a marble sized tumor in his spine causing pain issues which messed up his life. We applied for benefits for him, also denied "no proof" his tumor was caused by my having being exposed to agent orange, It feels like they have it out for me or else they are afraid my one case could open up a flood gate? I don't know.
