Vietnam Veterans' Agent Orange Disability Claims
The U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs estimates that nearly 20 million gallons of the herbicide known as Agent Orange were used in Vietnam between the years 1961 and 1971. Originally intended only to remove dense foliage providing cover for enemy forces and to diminish the food supplies available to those forces — it soon became clear to veterans, if not the VA, that Agent Orange had other more personal effects.

Important: If you are a veteran and you are suffering from a disability that you believe may be related to an exposure to Agent Orange — even if it is not on the above list — you need to know that any veterans disability benefits you might receive will not start accruing until your application is received. In other words, there is no good reason to wait. For help in making the strongest claim you possibly can — call or contact our attorneys today.
