Once the VA has awarded you a percent of disability from Agent Orange can that can that percentage be increased? I have been in the VA system for several years. I have health issues secondary to, and as a result of my diabetes.
One of the issues is bleeding varices in my esophagus. I filed a claim for unemployability because of my limitations and they ignore it. I have been waiting three years for an answer to my appeal for the varices and for my liver damage and all I get is a stock answer from the VA. They are doing nothing. Three years is disgraceful. I feel sorry for returning veterans these days because they are in for a shock when they try to get help.
This is really Bull. I filed a claim, and the VA requested my service Medical records, which they never have received, i also requested the records. They are apparently conveniently lost. My Doctor also sent records of my treatment for Diabetes II. It is a blame game, and nothing is happening.

I do know that my paternal grandfather died from liver failure; my paternal uncle passed from a brain aneurysm; my paternal grandmother died of congestive heart disease and other complications of being I Was ex pose to this agent orage but Im a post vet I Was bleding true my rectal and the urulogist told me to claim on Va the star to ad same thing on my live and star to claim but VA hospital dosent give a dam of the veterans here on puerto rico what I have to do go over the state.
He as advanced Parkinsons Disease. Could this be related to Agent Orange? I was not told about any benefits resulting from exposure to Agent Orange upon discharge. Four years ago, I was enlightened by another Vietnam Vet that there are benefits available. At first, I thought the statute of limitations had run out on me, after all, it has been almost 40 years since I was exposed. My husband was in Pleiku, Vietnam He has Diabetes Type 2, was recently diagnosis with Prostrate Cancer 6 months ago.
He has taken radiation treatments. We are waiting. Good Luck to you. I am the proud daughter of a Vietnam Veteran. My dad served our country from to I applied for VA benefits for children born with birth defects and was denied. Why is this? I get half my DNA from my dad. Any guidance as to why this is would be appreciated. Good day sir, I am curious could I have any effects to this by being there and digging in the dirt excavating I sometime have skin rash And not to far back I have had like 7- T.
I also served in Viet Nam. I notice all of the Cancers listed with a big exception…Colon Cancer. I would have to presume that because of this ommission, the VA does not believe that any of this Agent Orange got into any of the water ditches, rivers or rice paddys which we all waded through. Sometimes up to our arm pits. Seems funny that Prostrate Cancer is listed yet not Colon Cancer. If the water level was such that it reached one of these body areas, it was deep enough to reach the other.
Past time for this to be included. Colon Cancer kills just as effectively as any other Cancer. My husband served in Vietnam He passed away from a very aggressive cancer called Richter Syndrome, he had only weeks to live after his diagnosis in late Please file a claim with the VA if you are eligible to do so.
Tomorrow is not a promise, only a gift. Mt beloved Danny was s good man and was proud to have served even after all the negative response when he returned from war. My life has been forever changed because of Agent Orange. Blah blah blah. How about talking about Ft. McClellan the moat contaminated site in the United States. Nobody ever brings it up,but 60 minutes DoD a report on Ft. Monsanto,and our crooked government knew about this,and never informed the military.
Delayed care is denied care. We are suffering,and dying,but nothing gets done to help us forgotten veterans. Mind you Google Ft. McClellan toxic exposure and have a look for yourself. McClellan veteran go to poisonedveterans. Military who served there were not notified or allowed to participate in the settlement. I was stationed there in for basic training and shortly afterwards noticed lesions inside of my nose and was treated for ovarian cancer 10 years ago and have thyroid problems.
I am luckier than many. I have filed, re-filed and re-filed an Agent Orange claim and each time there have been problems with it. I have located a very similar Agent Orange claim that was approved. The veteran filing that claim was represented by an attorney who appears to be located on the other side of the country.
I have not been able to locate the attorney. Please contact me privately at my email address. Thank you for your help. This has been a fifteen year odyssey, please help me if you can. He was also stationed there while in the Army in before he was sent to France. Agent Orange was sprayed all over that Fort. Hefelt that he contacted Agent Orange while training there all the years he was in the guard. He filed a claim in but died in He had diabetes, heat disease, and copd, plus myelodysplasia a bone marrow cancer.
His claim was denied but I have been fighting for more than 4 years for my husband and all the soldiers that have trained at Fort Chaffee, Ark. Take the list of potential disorders post exposure to your primary doctor. Clarify how you will be screened for any potential problem.
My Husband was a fighter pilot n Viet Nam I never knew about prostate cancer or multiple myeloma being related to agent orange. As his health went downhill and he had chronic pain attributed to arthritis and became impossible to walk very far or stand, he saw doctors and several ER visits. They completely missed problem, and after he fractured a rib, I insisted on a full thoracic series and they discovered bone lesions.

Sure enough, on the shelves were an array of weed killers and "weed and feed" products marketed to keep your lawn looking great.
My little lawn doesn't look so great. That's partly because my two dogs love it so much -- their playful digging, and the brown patches where they urinate, have marred the perfection of the grass. But I wasn't there to shop for lawn care products; instead, I was hunting for a pesticide known as 2,4-D.
I found it -- in several different products. You can see the photos below.
