Sometimes I am asked about the specific laws or regulations that address our post-Vietnam agent orange exposures a board to C-123 and the VA benefits we have earned. You can use Google to find the many VA web pages detailing our issue.
Here they are:
• 38 C.F.R. § 3.307
• 80 Fed. Reg. 35,246, 35,248 (June 19, 2015)
• VA regulation M21-1, Part IV, Subpart ii, 1.H.3.(Feb 5, 2016)
[T]he government’s interest in veterans cases is not that it shall win, but rather that justice shall be done, that all veterans so entitled receive the benefits due to them.” Barrett v. Nicholson, 466 F.3d 1038, 1044 (Fed.Cir.2006)
Wes, I finally got a 50% disability rating with 2 items pending yet. Could not have got it done without your tireless struggles. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMichel H. Gilliland CMSGT-USAFR. I flew with the Rickenbacker 302nd
Airlift Wing 907 Airlift Group 356th Airlift Squadron. I was a Loadmaster with them from 1970-1978. I was given credit for Vietnam Service. Our wing delivered several C-119-G aircraft to Vietnam in 1971-1972. I was on one of those trips. That was in July-1972. We picked up our C-123-K 's and several UC-123-K's soon after that. Again Thank you for all your hard work Mike Gilliland
