As a Navy veteran trying to navigate the disability claims process through Veterans Affairs, it was confusing, frustrating, and exhausting.
Agent Orange was a tactical herbicide used by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. The Agent Orange Act of 1991 established presumptive service connection for veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and suffered from certain conditions. In addition, the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act (PACT Act) of 2021 extended presumptions related to Agent Orange exposure to include additional locations and time periods.
If you have an illness that’s not on our list of presumptive diseases, but you believe it was caused by Agent Orange exposure, you can still file a claim for VA disability benefits. If you have a presumptive condition, you do not need to prove that your service caused the condition. You only need to meet the service requirements for the presumption.
