Doctor in military said I had Hep A in 1972 but had Hep C almost died
How do I go about getting that reversed for my military pension seeings how Hep C was not put on the books till 1989 and I test positive for have having C all this time. The doctor had not choice but to say I had A because B C did not exist then. He made no mistake but I can't get a doctor to write a letter for it and I have read everything there is to read on Hep 1000"s of hours????????? Jay Wagner
Hi Jay! Thank you for sharing your situation with us–it is extremely unfortunate you're having such a hard time getting that changed on your pension. I want to pass along the contact information for Help4Hep, a free peer counseling service for people living with hepatitis C. Their counselors are knowledgable and may be able to help. They can be reached at 877‑435‑7443 from 9am-9pm EST. Have you been able to get in touch with a veteran's advocacy organization? We're here for you with support–let us know how things progress? Best, Matt (Team Member, HepatitisC.net)
