Basically, I would like a little more stock placed in giving veterans the benefit of the doubt. As a doctor, do you think that is right for a veteran suffering an illness that he cannot explain, likely because there are no studies, no reports, that prove it exists, to have to prove that he has the illness with all the health reports and other papers that he has to submit to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board or to other agencies? Shouldn’t he get the benefit of the doubt?
