Blue Water Navy wins at appeals court over Agent Orange benefits
The U S Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled 9 2 in favor of roughly 70 000 Blue Water Navy veterans in Procopio v Wilkie paving the way for Congress and the VA to extend disability compensation and medical care to sailors who served in Vietnam territorial waters. The decision hinges on reading the Republic of Vietnam as including territorial seas and may prompt a Supreme Court petition by the VA.
