a meeting with compensation and pensions to discuss my exposure to herbicides while stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War. My diabetes, neuropathy, thyroid issues, and eye stroke are all directly related to the exposure.

Hi there Lymetoo,
Because there were several color codings among the herbicides used...i.e. orange, blue, green, etc. ... TxC' was advised to use the term: "presumptive herbicide exposure".
Then whatever chemical soup herbicides these vets were exposed to is all covered...who knows what else may have been used w the A.O. .
Hopefully,at some point,in the near future,one can wish and pray it is very soon, some disability pay will be forth coming!!
