Guest guest Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 There is one problem with how the VA records are set up. A few years ago someone working at the VA did a backup on records on CD. took the CD home with his. Someone broke it to that person house and one of the things taken was that CD. No one knows what records were on the CD but what records are on the CD included names birth date addressed SS numbers. The VA is now paying any one that can show they were harmed by this. > > > > > > Too bad you have no choice. > > > > > > Val > > > > > > From: hyperaldosteronism > > > [mailto:hyperaldosteronism] On Behalf Of Francis Bill > > > > > > > > > In my case my doctor has told me if I have PA in wouldn't make any > > > difference as he would still treat me the same way.
