U S to pay millions in Agent Orange disability rules
Washington approves a rule granting disability benefits to up to 2100 Air Force reservists and active duty personnel exposed to Agent Orange on Fairchild C-123 aircraft from 1969 to 1986. The measure, costing an estimated 47.5 million dollars over ten years, expands VA caseload tied to Agent Orange. The move follows an Institute of Medicine study linking exposure to higher health risks.
