Q27: I am a Vietnam veteran and while in an M151 jeep, March '68, we hit a land mine. I have had multiple problems since then ranging from seizures in the years after to head aches and now wide spread pain that doesn't allow me to sleep well. My VA doctor says I have arthritis. I believe today's problems are the residuals of the blast I was so close to that I didn't hear it, was literally on top of it. How do I get additional compensation for today's issues?
