It has been hard to be positive when I have been turned down so many times trying to get disability benefits. I have been trying for years.

I have two applications going:

  1. I lost some hearing being a radio operator while deployed to Korea. The doctor that did my discharge physical didn’t even test my ears during his testing.
  2. I was in a jeep accident while stationed at Ft. Bragg. I was thrown from the jeep on top of a big boulder. I hit it back first. My head was thrown back and I got a whip lash, plus it knocked me unconscious. The same doctor did not take x-rays of my back.

I haven’t given up! Never give up, if you know you deserve compensation.
