Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
After speaking to a VA counselor, I was encouraged to file a disability claim with the VA due to the fact that I was in the infantry in Vietnam and walked all over that country in the time that I was there. Dioxin (agent Orange) was sprayed over many locations in VN evidently, but no one knew at the time that it was a carcinogen or otherwise unhealthy. I have a few minor health issues, but at age 67 I think I'm in pretty good overall health. So in June 2010, I filed a claim with the Veterans Adimnistration.
It has now been over two years since the claim was filed (700+ days) and they are still researching the claim. Personally I do not care if the claim is approved or not as I do not expect or need any compensation. This time delay seems like a very long time, especially for those vets who are really sick and need the income that an approved claim would produce.
Have any other veterans of VN filed a VA claim and had simular or diffetent results?
