The PAN website has some info on the VA benefits and also suggests the VA site. http://capwiz.com/pan/issues/alert/?alertid=16362571 http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/AO/claimherbicide.htm It would also be a good idea to contct your local VA Center for your questions.

HOWEVER, IS A RETIRED AF OFFICER AND WE HAVE TRI-CARE/MEDICARE. ISN'T THAT EQUAL OR THE SAME AS THE VA HEALTHCARE SYSTEM? WHAT OTHER TYPE OF COMPENSATION/BENEFIT IS THERE? WHAT OTHER DISABILITY BENEFITS ARE THERE TO GAIN BY SENDING IN THE APPLICATON?
