Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | File a claim with the VA first. They may award you disability. I am a Vietnam vet and many guys on my ship were exposed to asbestos as well as Agent Orange. The local VA rep sent me a claim form because of the oral cancer (I'm not quite sure how to link it though) The ship never went to Vietnam while I was on it. They (the VA) told me they're getting a lot of claims from Vietnam Vets these days.
