Personal Request for help for a Veteran needing VA compensation.
2004-10-21
My apologies if this meets the requirements of an off-topic post. I won't complain if Fred or the other moderators decide to delete it.

My Father-in-law is having hearing problems and wants compensation from the VA for a hearing aid. He believes it is due to his service in the Fourth Marine Division in an artillery unit during WW-II (Among other islands in the Pacific campaign, he was on Iwo-Jima, participated in the bombardment of Mount Surabachi, and was on the island when the flag went up.) He's having difficulty proving his case, and asked me to do some research. I'd appreciate it if any one can give me any pointers to research, papers, or regulations regarding hearing loss in artillery units and VA compensation in the form of hearing aids.

My apologies again for bothering the Rantburg community. My excuse is that I practically idolize this man and regard him as one of those who saved the world before I was born.
