## VA Disability for Cancer – Veterans Disability Lawyers at Wettermark Keith

As the veteran population ages, disabilities tied to military service frequently appear. One of the most devastating diagnoses veterans face is cancer. Many United States service members were exposed to toxic chemicals and harmful substances during their military service. Later in life, these veterans may develop cancer due to that exposure.

Agent Orange is one such chemical linked to cancer in veterans who were exposed while serving in the jungles and wooded areas of Southeast Asia.

The most common use of [Agent Orange](https://wkfirm.com/veterans-disability-lawyer/agent-orange-exposure/) and other tactical herbicides occurred during the Vietnam War between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975. These toxic chemicals were also used in the Korean Demilitarized Zone between September 1, 1967, and August 31, 1971. The VA also recognizes Guam, Thailand, and certain Blue Water Navy coordinates as presumptive locations.

If veterans have qualifying military service records in these areas during those timeframes, the Department of Veterans Affairs presumes their cancer is related to toxic exposure. A veteran with a confirmed cancer diagnosis from a doctor may be eligible for [VA disability benefits](https://wkfirm.com/faqs/why-its-hard-for-veterans-to-get-va-disability-benefits/) and monthly compensation. Filing a VA disability claim for cancer and receiving approval can be complicated and time-consuming.
