Ok so how is the VA going to calculate the backpayments of benefits?? We were denied disability pmts for years because we were considered Blue Water. I was in Vietnam & off the coast of Korea in the DMZ area in 1971. My first claim filed with the VA was 2010. But not for Agent Orange, because it wasn't allowed. Kind of a Catch 22. So took a chance in 2012 & filed, and of course denied. So heres food for fodder, has anybody thought about how far back is the VA going to go in calculating entitlements. And I don't want to hear from the day I initially applied for AO . In other words if I could have filed, if I would have . Does anybody have a clue?? Back to Agent Orange Act of 1991.?????
