Re: defining the word SERVED on the perimeter, Agent Orange
Hopefully, the VA will except the 500 meter safe distance in the Army Manual on herbicides as a benchmark for defining " near". I know the 500 meter distance is being used in alot of herbicide claims submitted in the last couple of years. There was a vet who contacted his congressman for a answer to define the word, " near". They wrote back and stated the VA has no defination of near, as each case is based on its own merits, what ever that means.
