Affect Of Ao On Children

[Papa]

My youngest son has always suffered from ADHD, Major Depressive Disorder, Conitive Disorder, and Cadine Sleep disorder. Forgive the spelling, please. I was exposed to AO in Vietnam from 1969-70. Could there be a connection? Could or would it be advisable to file for disablity, and is this really possible? It would seem like a long shot to win.

There are a few diseases that are presumptive for the children of RVN vets. Other than that it will be a struggle.

Thanks John999. You are very correct, it would be an immense struggle. But, I have always wondered if there has ever been a study done on how many AO exposed Veterans have children with mental, physical and other disabilities. How does the numbers compare with non-exposed AO civilains in our age group. Just wondering, but would be nice to know!
