7. Covert Ops- Vietnam

   I have been trying to find more info on the Mote V Will case decision ( Fed Cir) that Tbird posted here today. The veteran had claimed he had been in covert operations in Vietnam. In another fairly similar case the BVA stated: "Furthermore, the Board notes that the Veteran and the appellant has continuously and consistently contended that the Veteran served in Vietnam during a period between 1969 and 1975, where he was exposed to the herbicide agent, Agent Orange; however, the appellant noted that the Veteran’s Vietnam service is not disclosed in his military records due to the top-secret and covert nature of his service. See Statement in Support of Claim, …

9. Widow AO Okinawa DIC claim

   I saw this article in the new News Section Tbird has put here: https://vanews.wpengine.com/ https://www.erienewsnow.com/story/42619109/widow-of-vietnam-era-veteran-appealing-denial-of-claim-by-va In part: "Veterans Affairs states there’s no record of a cancer diagnosis while Richard served in the 1960s nor is there evidence of exposure to herbicides. “They actually want a photo of him standing by this particular plane that he guarded, however, that’s not possible because he was in a high-secured area,” Mary said. So tying the discovery of Agent Orange barrels to where Richard’s unit was stationed is strategic to the appeal." The VA wants…

11. Metastatic Prostrate Cancer

    I just received an award of a 100% temp disability for the above mentioned illness. With another review in 6 months. The issue is, there was no mention of my incontinence problems by the CP examiner in the award. I have been having issues with this problem for a couple of years that has gotten worse since my radiation treatments. What will I need to do to insure they award a rating for this condition once they call me in for a review and adjustment from my present rating. Thank you

15. I Don't Want to Look Greedy Here, But...

    I recently reported here that my AO claim for Prostate Cancer was approved, with a 100% rating. While I'm grateful for the award I have a question about the disability start date. I filed the claim online and submitted my evidence on May 21st. The VA has always acknowledged the filing date as May 21st. But when I received the decision letter it said the start date was June 1st, not May 21st. Is the VA correct? Are my disability payments effective on June 1st even though I filed my claim on May 21st? Thanks again everyone for your replies and expertise.

16. AO Prostate Cancer Claim was Approved in One Month!

    I asked for help on this site several times and the responses were great. I'm an AO Vietnam vet and I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. I submitted a claim online. I uploaded the biopsy and my DD214 after being told that I needed to prove just two things: I served in Vietnam and I have Prostate Cancer. I had a phone interview with an RN that lasted about 10 minutes. Exactly one month from the day I filed the claim I got a letter from the VA that said I was 100% disabled and would receive $3106 a month. Thanks everyone for your help. Now I need to focus on getting better.
