Hi,

I have read a couple things that "blue water veterans" are eligible according to a recent decision.  Didn't pay too much attention to the articles because didn't apply in our case.

here is one article from a quick search

Thanks so much for this information.  I have submitted an online application with the VA for disability benefits based on my Vietnam service.

Recently had a C&P exam to update my status nine months after surgery. I'm not undergoing treatment, so there will be a reduction in the disability benefit. I still have some lingering side effects from surgery, including total erectile dysfunction, which the VA calls "loss of a creative organ." But that is worth only about $90 per month, according to the government. I also remain slightly incontinent; VA will determine payment based on number of pads used each day.

Let other vets know about the Agent Orange program.
