Lucky you. My Dad's exposure ended up destroying his kidneys and he died from a rejected transplant. VA never did approve any disability even though he met all the eligibility requirements for agent orange exposure. He died massively in debt.
I am very sorry for your loss.. If this was in the 90s the VA was in "we settle claims by attrition" mode; I had a problem then in finding my medical records 'lost somewhere in the system"..
The Pact Act came too late for far too many and the fact the 'resident' signed the bill won't stop what will happen to him...
