We Fight for the Men and Women Who Fight for Us
Veteran Agent Orange Disability Attorneys
The Vietnam War was a difficult time for the United States and has had a lasting impact on the men and women who served in the jungles of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. An estimated 2.7 million men and women served in Vietnam and many of those veterans were exposed to dangerous environments and the terrors of combat — and an estimated 70% of those veterans claim a disability with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Agent Orange was a herbicide and defoliant used in Vietnam to hold back the jungle, and many veterans battle severe medical conditions connected to this chemical that are covered by the PACT Act. Veterans who served in Vietnam and may have been exposed to Agent Orange may be eligible for disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs — and VA Benefits Attorneys can help ensure you receive the benefits and compensation you deserve as your veteran Agent Orange disability attorney.

How We Can Help
Legal Support and Services for Agent Orange Exposure Claims
Vietnam era veterans may have been exposed to Agent Orange in the jungles, on the battlefields, or even in the sky — and many have returned home and battled cancers or respiratory diseases that can be tied to this chemical agent. If you or a family member served in Vietnam and battle a severe medical condition, you may be eligible for disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the PACT Act.VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you file a claim for presumptive conditions tied to Agent Orange.
Establish Service Connection
A key element of the disability claim process is establishing a clear connection between the veteran’s medical condition and their military service. The PACT Act is an important piece of veteran legislation that provides veterans with disability benefits for illnesses and medical conditions tied to chemical exposure — including Agent Orange. The PACT Act establishes presumptive conditions for veterans exposed to chemicals or toxins, like Agent Orange, that create a pre-established connection between the medical condition and a time and place where veterans have served. A veteran disability attorney can help ensure you have the documentation you need to establish a service connection for Agent Orange exposure.
Collect Evidence and Documents
The presumptive conditions created by the PACT Act for veterans exposed to Agent Orange help simplify the disability claims process — but the evidence submitted in a disability claim establishes the foundation of that claim. A veteran disability attorney can help ensure that you have the documents needed to file a successful claim. The documents needed for an Agent Orange disability claim may be fewer than a standard service-connected disability claim — but no less important. Documents include a DD-214 Form, additional service records that identify a location of service, medical documents that establish the presumptive condition, and lay statements. An experienced veteran attorney can help you find and organize the documents you need to file a claim.
Appeal Denied Disability Claims
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs denies an estimated 36% of initial disability claims for many reasons that include insufficient evidence or the lack of a service connection — but with the right legal support, you can appeal a denied disability claim via a trio of legal options. A veteran disability attorney can help veterans file a Notice of Disagreement, request a Higher-Level Review, file a Supplemental Claim, or represent you in front of a Board of Appeals.
Are You Eligible for an Agent Orange Disability Claim?
What Is Agent Orange Exposure?
There are more than 14 presumptive conditions listed in the PACT Act that are accepted as caused and connected to Agent Orange exposure. Agent Orange was used in the jungles of Vietnam to deprive the enemy of cover and concealment, and those same chemicals had a negative impact on the health of U.S. Military veterans who served in those same jungles or worked with those dangerous chemicals. Many of the presumptive conditions tied to Agent Orange and covered by the PACT Act can have a severe impact on veterans and their families with illnesses that include Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Parkinson’s Disease, various forms of cancer, heart disease, hypertension, and more.
Veterans who hope to file a VA disability claim for exposure to Agent Orange must provide a formal medical diagnosis for their current medical condition. This may include presumptive conditions that do not require a nexus or non-presumptive conditions that necessitate a medical nexus letter from a medical professional. To be eligible, veterans must have served in a location where Agent Orange was used — like Vietnam, Thailand, or the Korean DMZ — during specific timeframes and maintain a discharge rating other than dishonorable. Veterans navigating the complexities of the claims or appeals process may find that an experienced veteran disability attorney can provide important legal assistance in documenting service records and securing a successful outcome for your claim.
