If you were boots on ground during the specified time and in country you are conceded already if the condition is on the list. If you are claiming conditions not on the list of presumed conditions, though, that might be why.

nightowl17 If I understand you correctly, you say you have a VA disability for diabetes. Were you in Vietnam or exposed to Agent Orange? If so, your dd214 is all the proof you need to prove you were exposed. When were you in and what branch? Prostrate cancer residuals and heart disease are also residual disabilities for Agent Orange.

Too bad there is no way to back date the grants for the added AO presumptive. So many years have gone by and so many Vets have suffered and died. The VA should review all of the past claims that were denied and overturn those, and grant the benefits that were due (backdated). The suffrage over decades is a shame, and should not be ignored.

How were you exposed? Boots in VN, Thailand. Was you DM secondary to AO?
