I was finally notified by the VA and I take my physical on Tuesday, May 17, 2005. It has been a lenghthy process and the wheels have moved slowly. The letter advised for me to be prepared for a long wait and to bring reading material. I'm just glad to be getting it done.

SEMPER FI,

Now they admit that Agent Orange can give health problems, after they denied it to my grandpa as he was dying of bone cancer about 10 yrs. ago, and offered no assistance, money or compensation.

FYI...There is a time table of when you should have been diagnosed with the disabilities.
Be sure to contact a veterans service representative before filing any claims with the VA.

Remember guys if your 100 percent disabiled there is no more money added to your disabilty...however, you need to make sure your new problems are added to your claim list to show you've been effected by them that is important for our history.

Oh BTW, the VA has fisnished the Ranch Hand study that's where is type 2 diabetes came from and in the studie it shows that type 2 diabetes causes CAD which I now have as of Feb 2004. I don't have the address but its out there.

If you have special disabilities..ie erectile dysfunction...you can be over 100% and get more funds...
