Does anyone have a definition (VA definition) of "full body exposure"?
I have been looking all over ,VAOGC , CAVC, and BVA etc etc for a definition-of this- it seems VA considers field testing (in gear and with limited removal of gas mask for test) as well as chamber tests as not being "full Body exposure".
Would that makes sense that "full Body exposure" would be without any protective gear at all for any length of time?
Also this would rule out the tests when they dropped mustard gas on a soldier's wrist to see what the affects of the drop was-
I know a vet who I fully believe had full body exposure but we cannot find a good definition of that- a definition that VA seems to know- in order to award a few FBE claims but deny many more which are not FBE claims.

Has anyone ever had a claim due to mustard gas?
