READ THE STORY
Veterans Administration (VA) has
expanded the Agent Orange Presumptive Diseases List and is now processing
Claims for bladder cancer, hypothyroidism and Parkinsonism.
“Many of our Nation’s Veterans
have waited a long time for these benefits,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Denis McDonough. “VA will not make them wait any longer. This is absolutely the
right thing to do for Veterans and their families.” Veterans who served in the
Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War may be entitled to an earlier
eligibility date for benefits. Vietnam War era Veterans and their survivors who
previously filed and were denied benefits for one of these three new
presumptive conditions will have their cases automatically reviewed without the
need to refile a claim. Veterans can contact the VA at 1-800-827-1000, to
ensure their previously denied claims are being reviewed.KEEP READING
