Got a little Agent Orange on the DMZ in Korea in 67-68 but I doubt that would take!

There are a lot of presumptive conditions tied to Agent Orange. Pretty much any cancer or heart conditions can qualify, have you talked to any veterans service officers about it?

All the veterans who meet the basic service and discharge requirements and were exposed to toxins and other hazards while serving our country, whether abroad or here in the US, are now eligible for VA health care.
These hazards include air pollutants, chemicals, occupational hazards, radiation, and warfare agents.
In conclusion, veterans who served in the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other combat zone after September 11, 2001, are eligible for VA healthcare services.
All the veterans who did not receive a dishonorable discharge can apply. The enrollment process is intentionally designed to be straightforward and can be quickly completed online. The VA has made it simple to access the care you deserve.

As a veteran, you can enroll directly in VA health care without applying for VA benefits.
Once enrolled in VA healthcare, you can contact a Toxic Exposure Screening Navigator for assistance. They will help you schedule a toxic exposure screening at your next appointment or even sooner.
This screening is designed to identify potential exposures to toxins like burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation, or contaminated water during military service. It also supports the documentation of these exposures in a veteran's record.
The screening is a 5-10-minute questionnaire about potential exposure scenarios during military service. It is not intended to diagnose health issues but to address concerns and document exposures in a veteran's record, ensuring the appropriate care and support.
After the screening, veterans will receive information about benefits, including potential compensation for service-related health conditions and access to environmental health registry exams and clinical resources. These resources are designed to help all veterans understand and manage any health issues related to their military service.
May God bless and good health be with all those who have served. Your service is deeply appreciated and respected.
