Agent Orange Benefits?

Question:

So what benefits are an Agent Orange Vet entitled to? The reason I ask is I served Marine Corp '68/'69 & '71/'72, and drove a semi all over Vietnam.

 

Jim's Reply:

There are no specific benefits for an 'agent orange vet'. There are service connected disability benefits that are presumptive to boots on the ground service and the government cedes that agent orange was a contributing factor to the disease. https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/hazardous-materials-exposure/agent-orange/ 
 

If you have any of the diseases on the presumptive list a path to a benefit is shorter and that's about it.
