We've "talked" before by email.
I can't remember if you had said you were working with a VSO. If you're not I strongly suggest you hook up with one. I used the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). They can help a lot. They don't (can't by law) charge you any kind of fee and they don't require DAV membership. They are there to help veterans.
There are others like the VFW and American Legion. I used DAV. I won my claim for AO and other herbicides a few weeks ago. It was in the claims process for 20 months.
I posted something about that on the top page 3 on this site.
