Agent Orange

[Ray T]

I am P&T and my new Doctor scheduled me for an initial Agent Orange exam. All my disabilites are tied to agent Orange and noted in my medical records. I have never had the exam but was part of the original regestry.

Should I have the exam anyway or pass?

Thanks

That test I took for Agent Orange C&P was a joke. If you have the conditions of AO and you were Boot's on the ground and they want the test. Then waste there money or should I say our tax money.

I think if you don't do the test, they will find away to take your compensation!

Good Luck

The exam I had was the most extensive exam I have ever received anywhere. It's up to you, if you take it, but if it were me I would. I doubt not taking it will reflect on any of your claims, as it is separate from claims or C&P exams. jmo

Do you have AO disabilities that are not part of your current comp?

Have you formally filed for those disabilities?.

If VA denied you comp in the past for anything that you seek com for now under the 3 new AO presumptives, (Ischemic Heart Disease, Parkinsons and Hairy Cell B ) make sure you check out the Nehmer Stipulation, under Footnote One here in the AO forum.

The AO registry exam is not a formal claim.

When I took the exam the doctor identified three AO conditions. Of course, I had to file claims on all these conditions and go to C&P exams.
