Navy Veteran Vietnam in country 69-70

Currently rated 100% for Agent Orange in 2017

Took 2-3 years to get this rating, and my wife has helped many other veterans get rated.

She is happy to provide letters, etc., that can be helpful with the rating.

I was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in 2017 and have been on pirfenidone for 6+ years. I receive a VA disability for IPF due to agent orange/herbicide exposure. If anyone was a Vietnam Vet and has IPF, you too deserve a disability payment. You will need a nexus letter from a pulmonologist supporting your claim.

I am looking to connect with Vietnam Veterans that have Agent Orange exposure.
I have IPF from Agent Orange and have been successful at getting 100% VA disability rating, which I understand is very difficult. Looking for people that need help.
Not sure if I am at the right place
