I was in Vietnam and was exposed to Agent Orange and may have health problems. What should I do?
If you served in the military and were in country during the Vietnam era, you are automatically considered at risk from the effects of Agent Orange and may be entitled to special VA medical benefits as service connected. If you were exposed to atomic bomb testing, or served during the Gulf War, or other special circumstances during other military services, you may be considered at risk for service-connected disabilities. These can include cancer, diabetes, and numerous other physical and physiological ailments. See the VSO for more detailed information.
