It turns out that exposure to Agent Orange can cause among other things, Prostate Cancer, and Glaucoma. Mr. Miller has both. So as a Veteran of Viet Nam during the appropriate time frame he is likely qualified to receive a disability pension.
The pension amount depends on the percent disability awarded to him. We go on Friday this week for their doctors to evaluate him, at the Newington facility.
Since his is a terminal illness, I am curious to find out what the VA considers to be an "appropriate" award. Time will tell.
