I filed my first claim for VA disability compensation in 2004, and was denied. That was my first encounter with a VA Evaluation Center.

I’ve been trying to get help from the VA for 30 years. All I ever get is a hard time. And I don’t understand why. I don’t want to say anything bad about my country but I want to say to the VA; “When I was sent to Vietnam, I was 18. I was exposed to Agent Orange. I got wounded. I have PTSD problems, and I need help and you won’t help me.” It always seemed to me like they didn’t believe me – like I was making things up. And then I found out about about Alpha…
