Question:
i am a veteran of the Korean war. I was exposed to DDT dailey during the summer months. I have had skin cancer for the last 20 years and had a heart by pass. could I be entitled to compensation base on the exposure to DDT?
Answer:
You could file a claim for skin cancer due to exposure to DDT while in Korea. To prevail on your claim you will either need to obtain a medical opinion from a qualified physician that it is at least as likely as not that your skin cancer is due to exposure to DDT or you will have to rely upon the VA to make a determination for you.
