Gotta love the VA.

I actually have a court date with them after 12+ years of fighting.

Medical condition. Started 2003 right after a round of surgeries. On FAA SI for it. Had a NAMI Waiver for it (Navy version of a SI medical)

VA "not service connected"

Call from the VA office: "You are aware that we share everything from your hearing with the FAA right?"

"Is that a threat? Because the FAA is aware of the condition you deny and has granted me a Special Issuance for it"

This is the same VA Office (Roanoke, VA) that tries to get me to file for TBI/PTSD vs what's actually wrong with me.
