A7:  Not that I am aware of, most Veterans Exposed to Agent Orange were not aware that they have the side effects of Exposure to those Chemicals. It depends on your medical conditions, but be aware that X-Rays a good sourse, M R I's if done correctly, will show if you have signs or findings and verfied by a V.A. Certified Doctor. Good Luck!!! Agent Orange Claims is that last thing that a V.A. wants to approve. It takes Certified Medical Doctors with experience in Agent Orange Side Effects to agree that Exposure caused your Medical Condition as a result of Exposure to the Toxic Chemicals. Once it's been determined that your disabilities are related to the List Of Agent Orange related Disabilities. FIle the claim is you feel your Medical Conditions relates to Agent Orange, get a good V.A. Service Officer to fill the claim out for you, and make sure you keep a copy for your file.  (EC)  5/13/22
