Welcome Ralph, you might have better luck catching someone with a similar situation if you scroll down on the "forums" page to "Insurance, Finances, Disability, Veterans Benefits". There are a few veterans our age who have posted there, including myself. I was in Vietnam about the same time you were in Germany.

Your exposure could have contributed to your leukemia. The difficult part of what you are asking is that you would really need to document your exposure. For me it was being able to say Vietnam-agent orange-stem cell transplant and acute myeloid leukemia in the same sentence.

Can you tell us more about your situation?
