Growing Medical Bills

[edtremblay]

Hi I'm new here trying to figure out how things work so please try to bear with me . I'm a 56 year old male Army Vietnam vet with stage 4 lung cancer. I've applied for and been granted ssdi but will not receive anything until September. My VA claim is pending and that looks several months away at a minimum the bills for Chemo and Radiation add up fast and while I have health insurance there is alot unpaid does anyone know if there will be any payment of these treatments from the VA once I'm rated??? Does anyone have any resources for litigation against the manufacturers of agent orange and the other herbicides that are causing all the problems??? This is an awesome site and I'm glad to have found it I'm proud to be a member thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Sincerely Ed Tremblay

Hello Ed,

Welcome to Hadit. We're happy to have you aboard. This is a great web site for vets helping vets. You have asked some really great questions here on your first post on Hadit. You deserve good answers. Please "repost" your question on the Forum under "VA Claims Research", "Veteran Affairs Benefits and Claims Research" section. More people go there as they have limited time so they go straight to the Claims Questions.

I know you will have a lot of people read your post there. By the way...

Thank you for serving your country and welcome Home.
