Tom- I don't know any of the particulars about his claim, but I have seen a report that only 8% of claims are rejected (don't know if this applies to upgrades) but that when re-submitted on appeal, 80% are granted. Also, combat-related issues are supposed to be, under new rules, almost a definite approval, based only on the Vet's word they occurred.. even PTSD-stuff. Dave or Jim would likely know more on this...

I had a 20% during my break in service (71-74) for a Pleiku "under- fire"- and waived it when I went back on active duty. I don't even have a clue as to the modern application and processing. I really need to get it started again, and very much upgraded.

But I'll get in touch with Carl and give all the support I can.

Thanks for all you Good Shepherd-ing, Papasan !

gotta run...
