I posted the following two years ago:
[start]I read the following some time ago; it was written by a former member of an appeals board:
"The closest call was one where a veteran was claiming CRSC for his leg. He had broken his leg while retreating from overwhelming forces during the battle of Chosen Reservoir. The rationale was enemy action did not cause him to fall down the hill, which caused his broken leg. He fell down the hill because he was walking backwards returning fire again North Korean soldiers. My primary focus on the case was the fact that he wouldn't have been walking backwards if it hadn't been for enemy action. I was overruled. The board wanted a cause and effect for the CRSC injury. "
That anecdote is partially the reason I rarely predict what will be approved as CRSC. (Agent Orange case are an exception.)
The applicant was injured during one of the most famous battles in American history, Battle of the Chosin Reservoir.
There are cases where an individual is approved for CRSC for injuries sustained during an FTX and this appeal was denied for injuries that occurred during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir . Hard to understand that one. JMO
