Default Viet Nam disabilities

I recently found out that there is a list of presumptive disabilities from
Viet Nam. These are indirectly related to Agent Orange. AO could not be filtered or cleansed from the drinking water and Vets who served in country for 24 hours or more may qualify. The list includes ALS, Parkingson's, Type II diabetes and some heart diseases.

If you have heart stents or other heart devices you may qualify. If you are granted a high enough percentage, there is even extra money if you are married and/or have kids. Good luck.

Could you post a link or more information? I have a co-worker struggling with the VA right now. He spends a lot of time looking for information like this.

I did the Prostate Cancer first, then two years later Type II Diabetes. Thankfully, no heart issues yet. I am rated at 70%.
