Agent Orange Outside Vietnam

I backtracked this decision- also

I think I said it was VARO decision-

I do intend to win my claim for agent Orange exposure inside the US, and I think the proof is of record in my claim. Someone sorely needs to break down that barrier. I know of two cases that have been won. the first by Irish, (email jackpot29@msn.com,) Irish, who was exposed at Fort McMlellan has drawn for exposure for 37 years. The other case was,, BVA docket 91-47 197 was awarded to the veterans widow after his death.

His widow? The vet also got exposed at Fort Drum-

he won his AO claim in his lifetime-

do you mean he died and she had a hard time getting DIC?

I know the attorney on this one:

A superb veteran's lawyer-I just interviewed on my radio show-the other day- in this case the veteran could not prove exposure to herbicides caused his disability-

he certainly was Vietnam vet but his IMOs were weak- and his disability was not on the presumptive list---

His case was denied-at BVA however-I dont know what the CAVC did with it-he might have won.

I will ask Rich Cohen about this case next time we talk-the attorney who was on the record---as Rich goes before the CAVC too.

Berta, you are right about,"in his lifetime," I got two cases mixed up, sorry about that.

I backtracked this decision- also

I think I said it was VARO decision-

but it wasnt -it came from the Appeals Management Center and I breezed over the first page too fast trying to digest what this was-

the BVA remanded this initially due to my endless point of gripe here at hadit- Violations of the VCAA !

There is nothing whatever in the BVA remand to show how this claim was finally decided-

the remand clearly asked for more information regarding the Agent Orange-proof of exposure-

A lot happened between the remand in 2006 and this decision here in 2008-back and forth between the veteran and the AMC-

I dont have a clue what happened and talked to the vet who sent this to me yesterday-he is still trying to reach the AO vet.

There was an unusual DIC decision at the CAVC many years ago-

AO not from Vietnam-

AT the last minute the BVA awarded- just so there would not be any precedental CAVC opinion-

These claims can be won-I might never get more info on this one-

it takes positive proof of AO usage as well as personal exposure-

the Thailand AO vet's claim I mentioned here before-

had very detailed facts and a buddy statement- and he succeeded in AO award.

VA has awarded AO outside of Vietnam.
