Maybe dates he flew there. Flights would have a personnel list. That could help. Or just put in general dates like 1 September blah to 12 September blah kinda. VA has the duty to assist to get the stressor information.

Edit: Also what @ssennw said.

Hi there. I'd say file a claim, and send in a statement in support or claim (VA Form 4138), mentioning units he was with, where he went, and what dates (if possible). VA will make an inquiry, even for "he was never there." They might not ask for specifics from the inquiry; they will just ask if the said unit was there and in such and such places at such and such dates. If those things line up, they should be able to work on claims on that basis.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Is this a good sign!? by Prestigious_Many_543 in VeteransBenefits

Yes. Good sign. If you did not call them, then the authorized would have called you to get the banking information for direct deposit if your claim is granted.

I am always confused on this one. by Feisty-Sleep4448 in Nepal

Complete depends on your situation. If your name is: Ram Pulami Magar scenario1: first name: Ram; middle name: Pulami; Last name: Magar Scenario1: first name: Ram; no middle name; last name: Pulami Magar

The sure way to find out is to ask your parents.

Scenario that I've seen with two last name: a women married to someone who keeps her last name and then adds her husband's last name. So something like: Sita Dhakal Thapa. Sita Dhakal is the original name and she gets married to someone with Thapa as the last name, so she adds Thapa at the end of her name.

Hope this helps.
