Widows/Widowers that need help with the VA -
Dan O'Brien (69-70) has sent me the name of a
woman who has been very helpful in assisting widows with fighting the VA when claims
are denied, she will aid in filling out the 21-534. Her name is Karen Gogol and she has offered her help to any
widow/widower who
needs help with the VA. Karen's husband is a deceased Vietnam Veteran and Karen
has much experience fighting the VA. Karen can be reached by email at
kg92950@aol.com. If you need to call her
instead, email me or Dan O'Brien for Karen's phone number.
Veterans that need help with the VA - If the Veteran is the one who
needs assistance with VA claims, he should see a local Veteran Service
Officer [VSO] of the DAV, VVA or other Veterans Organization. Our fight is
totally different than spouses. Dan O'Brien (69-70) has also offered to
help any of our Veterans with questions on VA claims. Dan's contact info can be
found on the Roster. Use email for your initial contact but you can call if
necessary.

Diseases Associated with Agent Orange Exposure
US Dept of Veterans Affairs(When it comes to filing a claim,
being exposed in and of itself is not a disease. If you have a diagnosis
of one of the presumptives listed, file right away. A Letter of Intent
sent to the VA will start the one year time frame in which you can
gather medical records, etc., to submit to the VA along with your claim.
Any award will come back to the day that the Letter of Intent was
received by the VA.
Also, a VA study looking at COPD and Agent Orange exposure was recently
completed (in 1999-2000). I encourage those brothers and sisters who
were exposed to Agent Orange and have a diagnosis of COPD to file a
claim for that, even though COPD is not a presumptive disease at this
time. Reason being, the laws continue to change, and what may be denied
today, could be awarded in the future. Better to err on the side of
caution, and get your claim in.)
