VA Begins Paying Benefits for New Agent Orange Claims

VA Begins Paying Benefits for New Agent Orange Claims

Providing initial payments – or increases to existing payments – to the 200,000 Veterans who now qualify for disability compensation for these three conditions is expected to take several months, but VA officials encourage all Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and suffer from one of the three diseases to make sure their applications have been submitted.

RIP Dad. Your work for us is done. Thank you for your early efforts to help Agent Orange be recognized at all. Your willingness to create awareness has brought us to this point. Many people now benefit from you and Mom's early groundwork. I'm so sorry you are not physically here to celebrate but I feel your spirit very close to me the last several weeks. I love you very much...
