VA Updates its C-123 Web Pages With Subtle Changes

VA modified some of its web pages addressing C-123 Agent Orange exposure issues. The subtle changes seem mostly to reflect findings reported in the January 2015 C-123 report from the Institute of Medicine. VA acknowledges exposure routes for TCDD.

Their web page summarizing scientific proofs still shows only those references selected to opposed veterans' exposures and ignore all the proofs which argue for C-123 Agent Orange exposures.
