Just to let you know, we have had great success for security police and dog handlers getting compensated for exposure to herbicides in Thailand with DEROS between 1970 - 1974. So far we have 3 from U-Tapao, 2 from NKP, 1 from Korat, 1 from Udorn, and 1 from Ubon.

We have quite a few working including 3 more from NKP, 3 from Korat, 2 from Ubon, 1 from Udorn, and another from U-Tapao. Additionally, some are getting PTSD from the attacks there. Earlier tours (pre-1969) are not being approved, and unfortunately, I have nothing about Tahkli.

Do you know of anyone working for the dog handlers that were in the Phillipines and were exposed to Malathion on a regular basis through dipping of their dogs? My husband was at Clark for several years as a dog handler and had significant exposure. His time in Viet Nam was brief, as he worked guarding on the airlift out.

If you were exposed in Thailand at any base and send in a copy of a performance evaluation showing that you worked outside and on the perimeter,you will be granted for the exposure, I was granted for exposure at Takhli.

JUST 4 MONTHS AGO LOOKING AROUND ON LINE I FOUND A WEB SITE WITH K-9 DOG HANDLERS FROM THAILAND. IT WAS LIKE BEING HOME AGAIN IN NKP. THROUGH HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT TRYING TO GET BENIFITS FROM THE VA.I STARTED THINKING ABOUT MYSELF AND MY PROBLEMS THROUGH THE YEARS. I HAVE HAD A OUAD BYPASS 11 YRS AGO AND JUST HAD 2 STINTS PUT IN AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT ESTIMIC HEART DESEASE GETTING ON THE LIST I CONFIRMED WITH MY DOCTOR THAT THIS IS MY CONDITION.
I FILED WITH THE VA AT THE END OF AUG 2012 ON JAN14TH 2013 I RECIEVED MY FIRST CHECKS FROM THE VA WHICH NOT ONLY WILL PAY MONTHLY BUT RETROACTIVLY WENT BACK 15 MONTHS. I AM 60 % DISABLED.
I HAVE SOME OTHER MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND HOPE TO SEE THE VA DR SOON. I HAVE NEUROPATHY , AND ARTHRITIS AND AM BORDER LINE DIABETIC. I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS APPOINTMENT. I MAY BE DYING SLOWLY BUT ANYTHING I CAN GET TO HDELP MY FAMILY WILL HELP ME. ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE I NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR MEDICALLY
