] Date Posted: 19:01:33 04/05/09 Sun Just to let you know, we have had great success for security police and dog handlers getting compensated for exposure to herbicides in Thailand with DEROS between 1970 - 1974. So far we have 3 from U-Tapao, 2 from NKP, 1 from Korat, 1 from Udorn, and 1 from Ubon. We have quite a few working including 3 more from NKP, 3 from Korat, 2 from Ubon, 1 from Udorn, and another from U-Tapao. Additionally, some are getting PTSD from the attacks there. Earlier tours (pre-1969) are not being approved, and unfortunately, I have nothing about Tahkli. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:43:44 11/11/09 Wed Do you know of anyone working for the dog handlers that were in the Phillipines and were exposed to Malathion on a regular basis through dipping of their dogs? My husband was at Clark for several years as a dog handler and had significant exposure. His time in Viet Nam was brief, as he worked guarding on the airlift out. >Just to let you know, we have had great success for >security police and dog handlers getting compensated >for exposure to herbicides in Thailand with DEROS >between 1970 - 1974.

Date Posted: 07:12:17 08/19/12 Sun If you were exposed in Thailand at any base and send in a copy of a performance evaluation showing that you worked outside and on the perimeter,you will be granted for the exposure, I was granted for exposure at Takhli. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:54:44 05/15/14 Thu Had heart attack 2008 - in 2010 rules changed to allow Thailand K-9 and perimeter SP's (maybe augees too) for AO/herbicides - BUT - a friend - also handler at Udorn same time had heart operation and skin problems and is getting B.S. run around. Keep fighting. >Just to let you know, we have had great success for >security police and dog handlers getting compensated >for exposure to herbicides in Thailand with DEROS >between 1970 - 1974.

Date Posted: 05:19:15 03/28/15 Sat I was stationed at Ubon 72-73 as a dog handler. I filed my claim with the VA for exposure of AO. The VA denied my claim because I didn't have the approved illnesses recognized by the VA. I have the following medical problems, liver, breathing, headaches, stomach problems, paralyzed diaphragm (left side). Any information would help to include in my appeal.

Date Posted: 17:20:55 07/05/17 Wed Hi I came across in a search, and wanted to let you know I was an Augmente at Udorn, 70/71, then at NKP 71/72 & 74/75. About 2008 I had a heart stint and got 30% for AO exposure. I was fortunate that I had in my records the blue AF training certificate which proved my perimeter presence. In 2015 I developed bladder cancer and did cemo and had bladder removed. I am waiting on a claim for that now. Great informative site. Thanks, Jim C [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
