mds and aml
My husband who served in Vietnam in 1973 passed away in 2013 of MDS which turned into AML (leukemia). He was already getting partial disability from Type 2 diabetes, and he had applied for additional benefit after getting MDS. We never got any response before he died, but I was told that I could continue his application which I did. However, later when I phoned the VA about it, they did not seem to know anything about it and they told me to apply again. However, after reading these posts, I wonder if I would even be awarded the benefits after his death even if it was approved. Two oncologists in separate hospitals told us there was a link between Agent Orange and MDS/leukemia. Does anyone know if I should keep trying?
