Agent Orange Benefits Rightly Extended To 'Blue Water’ Vets

For years after the Vietnam War, many veterans who fought in that conflict suffered from illness and endured pain. These occurrences didn’t happen because of wounds received in battle — but rather from Agent Orange, a chemical that was used as an herbicide to defoliate trees and plants during the war. 

…veterans who had been in contact with Agent Orange while fighting a in Vietnam and other locations were given disability benefits by the Veterans Administration. These helped veterans treat illnesses that were presumed to be due to Agent Orange exposure. However, those who served aboard United States Navy vessels in the waters of Vietnam — those commonly referred to as blue water veterans —  could not get the same benefits despite having the same health problems.

After years of battling with the VA, a Federal Appeals Court ruled that the VA had not interpreted the existing statutes correctly and should start awarding the benefits to the blue water veterans based on presumptive illness. This was followed by legislation which President Donald Trump signed into law as the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019.

If a veteran served aboard Navy vessels within 12 nautical miles seaward off the coast of Vietnam and Cambodia, between Jan. 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975, it is possible they were affected by airborne particles of Agent Orange and have illness associated with this chemical. 

Thousands of veterans had waited years for some action — the extension of the benefits went into effect Jan. 1, 2020. Retired Navy Commander and Director of Military Veterans Advocacy John Wells, was upset by this delay and said, “Time is of the essence. Blue Water Veterans are dying every day.

The new law has expanded to include benefits for those who served in the Korean demilitarized zone of Korea during Sept 1, 1967 to Aug. 31, 1971, and to the children of herbicide-exposed Vietnam veterans whose children were born with spina bofidia.
