Default Relationship of RLS as a sympton of PH

I am new to the group. I am a 65 year old Vietnam Veteran, who was exposed to Agent Orange. I have suffered with RLS for about 10 years, and first was on requip, and now on mirapex, which helps. I have to wear support hose to drive any distance or fly. I have been treated by a private doc for this, but have also begun treatment with the VA. I have been trying to find information on the relationship of RLS to PH, as PH is considered a presumptive disease by the VA-if you have PH and served in Vietnam you are presumed to have it caused by Agent Orange. It is a condition for which disability is paid. I plan to file for this and am interested if anyone else has experienced the same issues, or has seen any documentation that establishes the relationship.
