Hello. I came in contact with agent orange and need some guidance now.
Of course. Did you serve in Vietnam, including aboard a vessel on the inland waterways or within the 12-mile territorial seas?
No, I wasn't in Vietnam.
Did you serve in or near the Korean Demilitarized Zone, during the Vietnam Era?
No, I wasn't there.
================
Could you tell me what the conditions for disability benefits are?
Of course. Do you have an illness we believe is caused by Agent Orange called a presumptive disease?
Yes, at least that is what the doctor said.
In that case you may be able to get disability benefits.
================
Wonderful. Can any of you folks help me with filing my claim?
Yes, you can call 800-827-1000 or TTY 800-877-8339, or simply go to your nearest VA regional benefit office.
================
Will do. And what about the coverage? Who is covered?
Veterans and qualified dependents are covered.
