Hello @bruce0712,

I am sorry to hear of your tremors. We have some other members who have experienced neurological problems as a result of exposure to Agent Orange. I would like to invite @johnjames, also a Nam veteran, to share some of his experiences.

My name is John James- Hopeful ask if I would try and help you with information about (Parkinson's and the connection with Agent Orange?-and there is) I was diagnosed by the VA Neurological over 4 years ago. And he told me that agent orange was related to the disease of Parkinson's and he would send in my positive exam for Parkinson's and the connection to agent orange- and my exposure both times I was in Viet Nam -66 and 67. However-here in Phoenix, the VA has a full time officer that versified ( for example) my exposure to the chemicals-which I needed for my claim. All you need is your DD214 showing when you were in Viet Nam and the unit-which they can trace to verify you were in VN and exposed, and where you were at. They give you a letter verifying-you were in fact exposed and than they put that letter with the Parkinson's diagnosis for the claim. They approved my claim in 30 days. Was there something else you are trying to find info: for a claim John James
