If you feel that you qualify for Agent Orange exposure through service 
on the C-123(aircrew, aerial port, aeromedical evacuation maintenance),and for benefits for diseases associated with herbicide exposure for the veteran must establish a Direct Service Connection Claim for herbicide exposure related diseases.
The Veteran must show on a factual basis that they were exposed to herbicides during their service by showing: 

1. Credible evidence proving work on the C-123K
2. Medical diagnosis for disease associated with herbicide exposure.
3. Medical nexus connecting 1 and 2

If you have met these criteria’s, then file a Direct Service Claim with your local Regional Office. We need to stress the "military herbicide" issue rather than the more specific Agent Orange issue. Turns out theC-123 was contaminated with a variety of agents and the law more broadly specifies "herbicides" - a big "thank you" to Professor Jeanne Stellman of Columbia University who, using very small words and lots of patient repetition, explained the fine points to me.
Please note:
·       This is not a Direct Claim for Agent Orange, it is for Herbicide only.

Veterans may contact their local VA Environmental Health Coordinator about registry evaluations or health concerns related to military exposures to herbicides such as Agent Orange - don't worry about the Thailand and Vietnam-era language as we are presenting our claims on the basis of exposure on the C-123K outside Vietnam...there is a category for us, even though the VA presently denies that we were exposed. Because your claim is based on the date of your filing for benefits, and because the Agent Orange Registry exam might uncover useful medical information, each of us needs to call and get a physical scheduled!The directory below contains the latest information received from VA health care facilities and is updated as changes occur.Note:  To send a secure e-mail, use VA's Ask a Question - IRIS"Names and other info last updated: March 2012
