Question:
Hi Jim, Looking to get an IMO for my TCE breathing problems from inhalation and the camp Lejeune water poisoning. I’m at 70 % now for the neurobehavioral effects of the water poisoning. I have been exposed to open tanks of TCE in the armory everyday for about 4 years and have had breathing issues ever since. I’m suffering an acute inhalation injury and need to service connect. I’ve been seeing the VA doctors and had a new sleep study done recently. This was my third study over the years. The two previous sleep study’s were outside the VA. I will be requesting to see a pulmonologist next and was wondering if you know of one I should contact. Thank you,

I don't think you need to speak with a pulmonologist about VA disability options, you need to speak with a disability expert. I'd suggest that you consider an IMO by one of the physicians you'll find here
