What if they forged my signature and i can prove it? WHAT DO I DO????

The paperwork that I had, did not return with me when I was medically evacuated out of country. That paperwork did not show up until long after my discharge. When the unit returned.

The report also states a 30% loss of sensation in one foot. Does that not count toward the foot as a different body part? The person typing the report claimed that i stated it was normal, it is most definitely not normal. Secondary to the back?
