    I urge every veteran who had feet on ground or traveled from certain vessels back and forth from ship to land to go check in with the VA. There are many diseases that they are now relating to agent orange. Some you may not have considered. High blood pressure, prostate cancer, and 12 others. Age is of no comcern to start receiving compensation and treatment. Perscriptions can also be covered. There can be other benefits as well. Some places, (Home Depot for one) give a 10% discount if you have a VA card.

    At a minium, hearing is a 10% disability, who doesn't have that from all the firing we did.

    We have earned whatever they are willing to give. If you have any of these and get compensation, then later pass because of one of them, your wife will get about 50% of your compensation for the rest of her life. Don't get confused with all the paperwork. Most places have a County Verteran's service office. Run by ex military people that will actually do and file the paperwork for you electronically. It goes through a lot quicker when they do it, and they know all the T's to cross and I's to dot.

    And you might be surprised at the amounts related to each percentage. It can be sizable and make a big difference in your living. Oh yeah, it's tax free too.

    10%....=$133.57 a month
    50%....=$919.64 a month
    100%..=$3078.11 a month wowza!!!!

    Below I've attached the sites showing the issues related that they will cover, and the compesation tables.

    Go in, get checked, and on the agent orange registry. No reason for not or waiting.
