Well I just had my Higher Level Review - Informal Conference. He asked why I felt my Hypothyroidism is connected to my service. I explained to him that I was exposed to AFFF Firefighting Foam many times over a 7 year period during my service. I also told them that there's many studies that tie the active ingredients in AFFF (PFAS/PFOS) to thyroid disease. I also let him know that there's no one in my family on either side that have had Thyroid disease and also none of them were every exposed to AFFF Foam. I told him the Nexus Letter does a great job of explaining how AFFF Foam can cause Thyroid disease and my symptoms. He said he will give his decision in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Fingers crossed that his decision goes my way 🤞🙏
