Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted October 15, 2009 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 15, 2009 My father served in Vietnam, but I have no idea if he was exposed. Does anyone have a link showing the areas which were impacted by AO?

Berta Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Every incountry Vietnam vet who served in Vietnam during the Vietnam War-is considered having been exposed to Agent Orange. If he has a presumptive disability or disease on the AO list (and they just added 3 more) he should definitely file a VA claim. As of last week the Presumptivces were: chloracne or other acneform disease consistent with chloracne, Type 2 diabetes (also known as Type II diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes), Hodgkin's disease, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy, porphyria cutanea tarda, prostate cancer, respiratory cancers (cancer of the lung, bronchus, larynx, or trachea), and soft-tissue sarcoma (other than osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, or mesothelioma). 38 U.S.C.A. § 1116(a)(2); 38 C.F.R. §§ 3.307(a)(6), 3.309(e). VA has just added Parkinson's Disease, Hairy Cell B neoplasm cancers, and Ischemic heart disease. Cybersarge's web site has a Vietnam spraying map and there are many other maps on the net- but VA will concede exposure for any Vietnam Vet who servied incountry (as well as certain Korean vets and any other vet who can prove they have presumptive disability and were exposed to AO.
