VA's Blanket Policy Forbidding C-123 Veterans' Claims

VA has no blanket policy against C-123 claims.

                    - Secretary Eric Shinseki, letter to US Senate 7 June 2013

                     - blanket claim denial boilerplate language provided by VA HQ to regional offices
                               

VA regulations do not allow us to concede exposure to herbicides for Veteran's who claim they were exposed to herbicides after the Vietnam war while flying in aircraft used to spray these

chemicals

                        -   from Manchester NH regional office denying a terminally ill vet's claim -

How does the statement "regulations do not permit" equate to the promise of
"no blanket denials?"
They are contradictory statements!

VA deceives the Senate with one statement and then denies 100% of our claims with their other.
