There are currently 2 bills in Congress -- S. 1752 and HR 1428 that if passed will create a presumption of service connection for disabled veterans living with Parkinson’s disease who were exposed to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam." In July of this year, the Institute of Medicine released a report concluding that there is “limited or suggestive evidence” of a link between exposure to Agent Orange and Parkinson’s disease in Vietnam veterans. PAN supports these bills. you can find out more about them and contact youor Senators and Reps. thru the PAN website
