My father was exposed to agent orange in the Navy while in country (he was brown water navy). He developed ischemic heart disease and finally rated at 100% this year, after being at 90% for several years. He hadn't applied for ischemic heart disease prior to my helping him this year. Does the VA pay or allow backpay for agent orange exposure? I'm just wanting to help him out and wondering how, if possible, to go about submitting information to the VA for him.
Thank you in advance!
