This is about my husband, he was deployed to Iraq from Oct 2005 til July of 2007. When he returned from Iraq he complained of his shoulder hurting him and it is documented in his demob papers by the Doctor. Anyway he has been put on several temp LOD and now the army wants him to get it fix but they are saying since he didnt say anything while he was in country they are not going to pay for it and wants him to get it fix on our expense. Recoop time is 1 year and said they will also not pay for him to be off work. Now they want him to go infront of the Medical Board and told him he will be likely to be kicked out if he doesnt get it fixed. They said they wont put him on a permant profile LOD( i hope I am wording this write). So what can we do?? He has a torn muscle and something else due to the armor he wore and other things he was required to do for those 2 years.He has been seen by the VA several times and been to a specialist and has had many test, bone scans and MRI's done. Does anyone know what we can do, what are his chances of things being found in his favor?? It seems also that his unit is yanking him around and not giving him any answers.Is there anyone we can call as well? Thank you so much. Jennism
