Does getting MS have any connection with being exposed to agent orange?
There is no demonstrated connection between Agent Orange and MS, but you may want to call the Agent Orange hotline at 1-800-749-8387. There is also a VA Agent Orange website at http://www1.va.gov/agentorange/ However, if you were honorably discharged from the military you are eligible for medical services with the VA. If you are experiencing health problems you should contact your local VA medical center. For more support, we recommend that you contact Veterans service organizations (VSOs)to help with any additional concerns you have about your health benefits. VSOs frequently advocate for changes in VA law to extend benefits and services. You may wish to consider joining forces with one of the VSOs to work toward benefit changes to help veterans with MS.
