This is an important issue. We have been denied any benefits through the VA because my husband was in the Army Reserve and we were told that his service did not meet the requirements even though he went through his basic training and 8 years of summer camp and was honorably discharged. He was trained and served as Military police. We were told that he did not qualify and we continued on with the battle to no avail till they wore us down. Don’s battle with this dreadful disease began in 2014 but he was not diagnosed until 2019. When he was finally diagnosed, we were told that he presented atypical as a child and that led to finally diagnosing him after many neurologists which included 6 trips to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl.
At this time, we have not received any help except through ALS association.
We have gone through a large part of our retirement with no help. Don is totally disabled and I am his only caregiver. They have just about worn us both down!!
