What You Think Or May Not Know About Agent Orange Peripheral Neuropathy
When I found out my tingling and muscle spasms were probably Agent Orange related, I went to VA Administration building to talk with a Veteran advocate to find out if I was covered for any disabilities I may end up with as it progresses. The advocate showed me the link I used here and told me there are no cure or treatments for AO Neuropathy. After I read the VA “ Presumptions “ for AO, I didn’t get upset. It’s what I expected to to see. But, there has to be a way to change their “Presumption” ruling for those of us who served in areas where it was used, and for future generations who may come in contact with it, or something similar, like the illnesses from the “Pit Burnings” in Iraq and Afghanistan. Personally, I’m going to continue to find a way to change this ignorant logic the VA came up with. Remember, it took about 15 or 20 years before the government would even consider AO may be connected to certain types of cancer, birth defects, and diabetes. As I found out, even those considerations are limited responsibility by the VA.
