Relying on an independent study by the Institute of Medicine, the Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to establish a service connection for Vietnam veterans with three specific illnesses based on the latest evidence of an association with the herbicides referred to as Agent Orange.
The illnesses affected by the recent decision are B cell leukemias, such as hairy cell leukemia; Parkinson's disease and ischemic heart disease.
Used in Vietnam to defoliate trees and remove concealment for the enemy, Agent Orange left a legacy of suffering and disability that continues to the present. Between January 1965 and April 1970, an estimated 2.6 million military personnel who served in Vietnam were potentially exposed to sprayed Agent Orange.
In practical terms, veterans who served in Vietnam during the war and who have a "presumed" illness don't have to prove an association between their illnesses and their military service. This "presumption" simplifies and speeds up the process for benefits.
The addition of these diseases brings to 15 the number of presumed illnesses recognized by the VA.

For assistance with a claim for disabilities related to Agent Orange exposure, contact your nearest DAV National Service, or call toll free 888-872-3289.
