    I am service connected for Diabetes type II (20%) and being compensated by the VA now, it was diagnose 3 years prior to my retirement. I ask my doctor if could have it been during my Gulf War service. I retired 7 years after the war in 1998, however I was developing the systems in 1995 only four years after the war. I applied for CRSC based on my Diabetes and all my secondary conditions such as Bladder Dysfunctions (40%), Peripheral Neuropathy of Left and Right on lower and upper extremity (30% and three others 20%) secondary to diabetes, and Diabetic Retinopathy (10%). My unit did travel through the burning oil field of Kuwait and we inhaled a lot of that smoke, and also those mandatory PB tablets we were force to take and shots in case of a chemical attack.

    I did read the entire case of Nehmer v. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and I believe that our government has not reach a conclusion on this yet, just like it took them many years to reach it over Agent Orange. I so hope I can prevail, so let's see. Thanks for you input. Retired First Sergeant.
