I have an friend, Joe Blair, that is a Vietnam Vet that is living in an old motorhome and working for different farmers in the area. He is in poor health and seems to be suffering from the effects of agent orange exposure, as well as PTSD.

He made an attempt a number of years ago to get some benifits but was perplexed by the paperwork and problems he faced at the Nashville, TN VA clinic. He has told me in no uncertain terms that he will not go back there. I have made arrangements to drive him up to Evensville, IN to a clinic I heard about up there from one of my customers, but I am clueless on what paperwork we need to take with us or what steps we need to take.

I found out from one of Joes children that he is was decorated at least once, and lost most of his teeth to an incident leaving a hot LZ and climbing aboard a helicopter, and the army finished pulling what teeth he had left. He also was honorably discharged, which I know is one of the requirements to recieve VA benifits.

Please e-mail me with any information and web sites that could help us get Joe his benifits.

Thank you in advance for you assistance.
