Hello,
Recently my father was service connected for exposure to agent orange. I was recently diagnosed with bicuspid heart valve. I was thinking about trying to get this service connected via agent orange, as no one in my family tree has had a bicuspid valve.
My questions are:
1. What does the VA need from my father's c-file to link me to being a child of a veteran that was exposed to agent orange?
2. I will find a private doctor to fill out the DBQ and have them say "at least as likely as not" and that they have reviewed my complete c-file, but what about medical evidence that can link the bicuspid valve to agent orange exposure in my father? Is there a good resource for information like this?
3. Any other advise for filing a claim based on a parent's exposure to agent orange?
Thank you,
Stephens
