happened. I didn't delete it intentionally. Let's try again.
The VA expanded coverage in 2009, I believe, for agent orange to all Vietnam veterans who served in country between specified dates. Coverage is for agent orange related diseases and there was a cut off date for sign up.
I applied, was approved, and hearing aids were furnished by the VA, but I don't feel I qualify for any service connected disability, so I haven't applied. Veterans in this category have to pay for services, or prove needy status; VA files with Medicare, supplemental insurance, etc.
The VA takes a hard stance on "service connected" claims because it opens them up to disability pension claims, full health care, etc. My guess is a veteran who waits 45 years to file is looked at very closely, and the VA says no before they read the application. Good luck.
