CAUSE BY HERBICIDE
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is adding new provision to disability and dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) regulations. The new rule will allow certain disability claims associated with herbicide exposure to be awarded even if the same claims had been previously denied. Benefits awarded will be retroactive to the
date of the claim or the date of the previously denied claim. The new rule also provides that VA may pay to certain survivors of deceased beneficiary, or to the beneficiary's estate, any amounts the beneficiary was entitled to receive under the effective-date provisions of the rule, but which were not paid prior to the beneficiary's death. The purpose of this rule is to reflect the requirements of the court orders in a classaction case. View this pdf file to learn more about the benefit.
