Question:
My husband had prostate cancer, received radiation and is cancer free. My question is it has affected his ability to urinate, takes a much longer time, as a result of the radiation. He is receiving benefits for Agent Orange for other disabilities. Is he able to receive anything due to how the radiation has affected him ? Thank you so much for your time.

Has he filed for a benefit? On diagnosis the Vietnam veteran is rated as 100% on a temporary basis and then after treatment he is rated for the lingering effects of treatments. If he hasn't filed he should get busy.
