Much still needs to be done, however we're grateful for all progress! Email from VA Post Deployment Public Health, received today:
Sir:
Post Deployment Health Services updated the webpage and also mentioned the C-123 group on a national call with the Environmental Health Coordinators and Clinicians this week. We will send the link to the updated page to our VISN leads. Thank you for your email and concern for the C-123 Veterans.
On web page:C-123 Airplanes and the Agent Orange RegistryVeterans (including some Reservists) who state that they flew on or worked on a C-123 aircraft between 1969 and 1986 are eligible for the Agent Orange Registry.https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/ locations/residue-c123- aircraft/index.asp Please note that VBA will have documentation requirements while for registry exams we only require a verbal declaration.
