Exposure to AO is granted automatically if you set foot in Vietnam. Type 2 Diabetes is also automatic if you set foot in Vietnam. Now, he gets money from SS for PTSD but nothing from the VA? He was granted AO benefits but then they took them away? I know the VA is crazy but something smells of month old fish here. The VA just lost in court on granting AO benefits to a Sailor who never set foot in Vietnam. He won the case saying the AO blew out over the ocean and affected him. Now, I won't comment much on this but either this other guy didn't set foot in Vietnam or he has the greatest case ever against the VA. If he's getting SS PTSD benefits then he should also file with the VA. I'm surprised with his "Combat record" nobody explained this to him. Odd. I am always skeptical when I hear "Special Forces" and "best buddy died in his arms". Sorry....but I am.
