Hello dloop!

PN is considered a Presumptive disease by the VA, i.e. if you have PN and served in Vietnam, it is presumed that it is caused by Agent Orange. I am looking for information to connect the RLS to PN, so I may get the appropriate treatment from the VA and file a claim for the disability associated with it.

Welcome to NT! 
First let me just say 'Thank you' for serving our country.
I'm sorry about these symptoms you are having and I hope you can get some answers real soon.
The Peripheral Neuropathy forum is LOADED with great information. You'll get wonderful feedback. I hope the VA comes through for you and that the disability is hassle-free.
We have a forum here regarding disability. There's alot of good tips and info there also.
It's great to have you here!
Make yourself right at home - you're among friends!
Caring,
Rae
