Thanks Janet! I already have a disability rating through the VA. I've proven service connection for the HCV and recieve 30% for the damage to my liver. This however is not taking into account the other symtoms that I believe are related to HCV. Fatigue, sleep disorders, digestive problems, depression, etc. I think I may need a lawyer to fight with the VA to get them to admit that some of these things are disabling, and are connected to the HCV. Problem with getting a lawyer is the money. I haven't worked full time since the second month of Interferon back in 98. Now I work very little, and the VA check is barely enough to pay rent, buy medicine, and keep me fed even here in China. So, what I should have asked is... do you know of anyone that can help with a request for an increase in my disability rating? I probably shoud be asking some other disabled vets... Eat well, sleep well, be

Thanks jax! You're a peach! I'm sorry to hear about your husband. I had a guy at the Portland OR VFW that was helping me, but all the numbers I have don't work anymore. If there is a way I can work with them via email it will help me too. (Business hours there are sleeping hours here. Not to mention the cost of a call from here just to wait on hold for an eternity.)
