Question
Chuck Killingsworth
I’m a Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, serving at Chu Lai from 1/66-8/66. In 2003 I had a Pulmonary embolism (PE) followed by a 2nd one in early 2006. After retiring in 2013, I asked the VA for an assessment for benefits for exposure to Agent Orange which I believe caused the PEs. My claim was denied. I am aware of other Vietnam veterans from my Battalion (3/1) who have also had PEs. No blood relative of mine has ever had a PE to my knowledge. Can you help me convince the VA that PEs are likely one of the health conditions caused by exposure to Agent Orange?
thank you!
