THe CDC came out with a document that Agent Orange can be Airborn...The following doc was used by a Thailand vet to get his claim approved...If your job was outside exp. mechanic on plane,,,
"Dust or soil particles contaminated with TCDD can remain airborne or accumulate on indoor or outdoor work surfaces and may present a potential exposure hazard. Exposure to TCDD as a vapor will normally be negligible because of its low vapor pressure. Contact with TCDD-contaminated liquids is possible through the handling of drums or tanks containing the liquid or through dispersion of the liquid."

See this booklet by the va for Vietnam vets....all doctors, va or private, are required to write a letter on their letterhead in support of a veterans claim....
good luck..

You should contact the va hosp near you, and take the Agent Orange test..consisting of a blood test, chest xray, and a nurse asking you were you were in Vietnam, dates etc....you'll get a letter in about two weeks with their findings...with the letter go to a primary dr in va and show him the letter which in turn he'll assign you to a specialist in the field.... The dr is required by law to write a letter on his letterhead ,va or private, in support of your claim..
good luck..

Having been service connected @ 90%....to get to 100% with individual diseases you will have to be another 50% service connected...(VA Math) if you are not working, file for unemployability...

Just remember they sprayed off of the back of trucks/jeeps, which became airborn from the wind blowing, which carried ao all over the bases.

He was a photographer in vietnam....died of colon cancer....the story is very complicated......I know if one of the items he's sc connected for is listed on his death certificate , that solves the problem, but until she tells me....I'm going to have to get more info...thanks

My waiting is over....received the white envelope today.....I've been at it since 2002...So don't give up!!!!!!!!
-
I got a call from the va the 9th of dec stating they were going to award me with 100% p/t . Got a form a few days later about my wife and when and were we were married, that was the 14th Dec....this thurs will be 3 weeks since the call....is .this the normal waiting time for the white envelope.?
-
Again...does this form apply to vets who have filed for IHD only, and have completed their c/p back in Feburary?
-
Is this form to be filled out by IHD vets who have filed their claims already, and had their c/p's ?
-
After many years at this......talking to fellow vets at the va during your visits and asking who has had sucess with a vso.....filing claims... leads to more sucess then not..
-
I had two vietnam buddies file in Jan this year for IHD, had their C/P's in Feb this year with follow up letters from the va telling them the va is waiting for the regs to be published..
-
The Court did not agree with VA's reasoning ... so now they must publish the new rule.
The Court's Order is available here for viewing or download.

The scale is setup by the VA that the higher your percentage, the harder it is to get over the top. For example I'm rated by the VA at 90%...to get over a hundred I would need 50% in another disease...
