The United States Army used Agent Orange to clean plants and trees during the Vietnam War
Did you serve in or near the Vietnam DMZ DMZ during the Vietnam era or in certain related jobs?
not
Can I get VA disability benefits?
You have a disease that we believe is caused by Agent Orange called a suspected disease
yes
ok then yes you may be able to get disability benefits
ok what if it was served in vietnam or in or near the demilitarized zone of korea?
You may have had contact with this herbicide. We refer to this as a presumption of contact. Find out if you can get disability compensation and other benefits for illnesses that we believe are caused by Agent Orange
ok when i file the claim what else should i bring
You must present a medical record that shows: s    You have a current disability, and   There is a connection between Agent Orange's exposure and his current disability
If I have a disease that is not on Agent Orange related illnesses, but I think it was caused by Agent Orange, do I need it?
