majolle Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 When I came home back in 75 I was so PO'ed with all of it I just wanted out. I'm not asking for anything, nor expecting any because in my opinion they are killing us off as fast as they possibly can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyDiablo Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I heard that for sure. And if you file a claim it takes forever for it to be completed and them to respond to you on that same claim. Anywhere from 9 months to 1 year if not more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaeton10 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I heard that for sure. And if you file a claim it takes forever for it to be completed and them to respond to you on that same claim. Anywhere from 9 months to 1 year if not more If you have a legitimate claim, if and when it is approved you will receive a good check in back pay. I submitted my paperwork and had every thing approved for 100% with 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majolle Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Trying to find out about the connection with hypertension and AO exposure. My VA doctor gave me the deer in headlight stare and shrugged it off. I probably have 4 to 6 known ailments attributed to AO exposure, but I have a problem because I served TDY in Thailand and not with any unit associated with AO. I have had nothing but run around after run around from the VA and pretty much just said screw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdave Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Here is he VA's list of bases in Thailand / FOL's contaminated by AO. http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/locations/thailand.asp All you really need is your TDY orders to one of these installations. Lacking that or corroborating evidence like letters from those that were there with you and can be placed at that location and dates(s) on PCS or TDY orders, you are pretty much SOL. All he VA wants is proof you were there. There are so many vets claiming all sorts of conditions that happened to them while on a special assignment without orders...

WyDiablo Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 The bad thing about high blood pressure is that the VA does not connect it with Agent Orange. Unless you had it while on active duty and was treaded for it while in service then they do not count it as an Agent Orange result. Well the claim that I have filed now according to the Federal VA compensation guides line that they follow when grading a claim I should get 100% because of renal (kidney) failure. Here is a great website that you can use to see what the VA uses on determing claim compensation. http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?rgn=div5;node=38:1.0.1.1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyDiablo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Well after a few claims I have gotten to 50% and I still have a claim at the VA for Demyelinating Polyneuropathy. And that will probably be my lasy claim unless something new comes up that will fall under results Diabetes systomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
