VA disability compensates veterans with ischemic heart disease who were exposed to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War or Korean War. Agent Orange caused dozens of life-threatening impairments and the VA pays veterans that are suffering.  Agent Orange is a major factor in many ischemic heart disease VA Disability benefits claims. Veterans filing ischemic heart disease VA Disability benefits claims have also had diabetes, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and atherosclerosis for years. Even if those impairments have not yet been rated by the VA, you may still be entitled to ischemic heart disease VA disability benefits.
