I seem to remember Agent Orange being sprayed inside Camp pendleton...but i was a child. A good friend just died of parkinsonian Symptoms...he was stationed at Khe Sahn mostly( 67-68). I wish the military would have figured this crap out back in the 60's before...not after, dadburnit.
If your late friend was married his widow maybe eligble for benefits from the VA. She should contact the VA at 800.827.1000. press 1, then one again, then 0 for a live person. She should ask about DIC payments and CHAMPVA (medical insurance)

Thanks for the comments and web site. I filed through DAV (Life Member) but have received questionable assistance. New claim has been going on 8 months and I also have an appeal now over 13 months. Guess the VA hopes more vets die off waiting for decisions.
As long as you receive a letter from the VA each month saying your claim is pending there's not much to do but wait. Good part is it's retroactive to your filing date.
If I can be of any assistance you can always contact me on the topix email site.

I file a claim last year for prostate cancer and cited TCE exposure as the cause (4 years of use) instead of AO. I figured it would be a long fight with the VA proving the domestic use of AO. If turned down, I guess I will have to open up the can of worms and prove the AO use - Just happen to have a picture of AO drums at Mt Laguna ( color picture shows the 4 inch orange band on the drum).
I have great interest in the pc and tce link, how did your claim come out? Thanks.
