Get the Agent Orange Related Benefits You Deserve
Following the Vietnam War, many veterans experienced severe health effects thought to be a result of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides.
After fighting for decades with VA, many Vietnam veterans suffering from exposure and related medical conditions will now qualify for expanded benefits thanks to the PACT Act, even if they served outside of Vietnam.
If you still don’t qualify for presumptive service connection after the passage of the PACT Act, CCK may be able to help. Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD has spent decades successfully representing Vietnam-era Veterans exposed to Agent Orange and other herbicides, whether they served in Vietnam or elsewhere.
Be Aware: Companies charging veterans fees to file initial VA claims is illegal. See if your representative is accredited here.
VA Presumption for Herbicide Exposure
The PACT Act, which was signed into law in August 2022, extended VA benefits to millions of service members, including Vietnam-era veterans. Specifically, the Act expanded presumptions for herbicide exposure for veterans with active military, naval, air, or space service in:
