Can I Receive VA Disability Benefits For Agent Orange Exposure?

 

A: During Vietnam, the US Military used Agent Orange, a powerful herbicide and defoliant, to clear thick jungle and expose the enemy. Unfortunately, some of those in uniform who were exposed to the chemical subsequently suffered from a range of serious illnesses and conditions that have been linked to Agent Orange. The Department of Veterans Affairs presumes that all military personnel who served in Vietnam were exposed to the chemical.

To file a successful Agent Orange-related disability claim, a veteran must prove that they served in Vietnam between 1962 and 1975, provide a medical diagnosis of a disease that is linked with Agent Orange exposure, and prove that the disease occurred after the exposure.

The VA recognizes that the following diseases are related to Agent Orange exposure:

•    Peripheral Neuropathy
•    AL Amyloidosis
•    Chloracne
•    B-cell Leukemia
•    Type 2 Diabetes
•    Hodgkin’s Disease
•    Ischemic Heart Disease
•    Multiple Myeloma
•    Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
•    Parkinson’s Disease
•    Porphyria Cutanea Tarda
•    Prostate Cancer
•    Respiratory Caner
•    Soft Tissue Sarcoma

If you believe that your illness or disease is linked with your exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, speak with a Texas VA claims attorney today regarding your case.
