Greetings there. I heard veterans can get certain benefits if they were exposed to Agent Orange. COuld you tell me how to get those benefits?
================
Well, have you scheduled an exam?
Yes, in fact i did.
Good, that's the first step. Next you should contact your local VA environmental health coordinator. Remember this exam is cost-free for those veterans who qualified.
================
Sorry to ask, but this was some time ago. Could you remind me how to make an appointment for this Agent Orange exam?. It's for a friend of mine.
No problem. All you have to do is to contact your local VA environmental health coordinator for that.
================
Then, to clarify this even more, what happens if i qualify for this exam?
If you get your qualification, you won't have to pay anything for this exam.
Sorry if i'm a nuisance, but is something hard to process for me. I won't pay anything, just following up those steps you said to me before, isn't?
That's right. You better believe it. It's cost-free for those qualified veterans.
================
What will happen during the exam?
You'll be asked about your history of contact with agent orange and other herbicides along your health history including any major illnesses or surgeries you may have had.
================
What specific requirements do you ask for this exam?
In that regard, you must have served in Vietnam between 1962 and 1975 for any length of time or in Korea near the DMZ between 1968 and 1971.
================
Then my medical history will be reviewed there isn't?
That's correct.
