Re: HAS ANYONE RECEIVED COMP FOR HERBICIDE EXPOSURE AT TAKHLI
The VA is starting to get a little picky on our services in Takhli. In my case they are wanting a 60 day period of when I was exposed to Herbicides so they can research that. They are accepting the fact that I was in the bomb dump because of orders and performance reports. They are also overlooking the fact the Base Commanders could use Herbicide at their own discretion (which I doubt was ever reported or written down when they used the Herbicides). I believe this is in the CHECO REPORT. The VA memo states that all we had to do is prove that we were on the perimeter or close to it by being in Security or performance reports. Now they are wanting specific time periods. Keep it up and don't give up on your claim.
