WV Veterans' Benefits Attorney Encourages Taking Advantage of Fast-Track Agent Orange Claims Process
In a final regulation that the VA published August 31, the VA added Parkinson's disease, ischemic heart disease and B-cell (or hairy-cell) leukemia to the list of conditions that the VA will presume to be related to a Veteran's exposure to Agent Orange and other tactical herbicides while serving in Vietnam between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975.
The agency based its decision, in part, on a 2008 Institute of Medicine study that examined health problems associated with Agent Orange, according to the Associated Press.
