I spent 18 Months in Vietnam, at age 51 I came down with Primary Lateral Sclerosis. Witch is a very Rare form of ALS. Yet the VA will not recenize it as being Service Connected, even though I was recency to Agent Orange. I belive that the reason is, PLS is not Life threating. Therefore they would have to pay my Life time. Even all the Doctors that I see at the VA say it's a very rare form of ALS, they will not put it in righting for me.
