VA Code for MDS
I have looked at the proposed coding and NO we do not want the proposed coding. It will not make it any easier to prove that Agent Orange is the cause of your disease and makes you have to be almost dead to get any disability.
It does not consider the mortality rate associated with the disease and rates MDS as a pesky form of anemia; certainly not a form of cancer. You won't get anything until just before flipping into full blown AML.
Don't be foolish enough to think they are doing this to benefit the veteran - - - the only benefit will be to the VA.
