The Unseen Battle: Understanding VA Benefits for Agent Orange Exposure
Manage episode 373300514 series 3358051
What if you could unmask the complexities of VA compensation benefits tied to Agent Orange-related illnesses? Attorney Bob Mannor, a leader on aging veterans' affairs, illuminates the recent changes in VA compensation benefits, particularly focusing on the concept of presumptive illnesses. These diseases, as he explains, are automatically assumed to be linked to Agent Orange exposure in certain regions, freeing veterans from the burden of proof. With a deep dive into various geographical areas including Vietnam and the Korean DMZ, Bob provides a comprehensive understanding of where exposure is presumed and also outlines the spectrum of illnesses tied to Agent Orange exposure.
Don't let the possibilities of benefits connected to Agent Orange exposure pass you by if you're a Vietnam era veteran.
In the second half of the podcast, Bob underscores the various forms of compensation available and how attorneys can be pivotal in beefing up the compensation percentage and dollar amount for veterans. Even more captivating is how a higher disability percentage can pave the way for veterans to qualify for health services and long-term care services. It's about time we shift our focus toward veterans' benefits and ensure that our veterans from the Vietnam era aren't left in the lurch. So join us on this enlightening journey, learn, understand, and make a difference.
