The War is Over ...
The Injuries Remain
In 2007, the VA treated more than 45,000 veterans for Parkinson's disease. Some sources calculate there are many, many more veterans with neurological issues, a result of their exposure to herbicides in Vietnam. USMVP helps decision makers develop a better understanding of issues related to Parkinson's disease. Paramount is the provision of benefits and compensation within a prudent and reasonable period of time.
Now that Parkinson's disease is recognized as an Agent Orange service-connected disease, it is imperative that all eligible Veterans apply for and receive the benefits they have earned. USMVP will continue to focus on notifying and helping these veterans suffering with Parkinson's.
