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.
