Prostate Cancer?
Question:
I was treated for prostate cancer and I didn't know about a disability claim. Is it to late to file a claim for benefits even though it is for six months?

If you're a Vietnam vet or have another reason to believe that your prostate cancer is service connected, it's never too late. Don't feel alone...over the years I've met a lot of Vietnam vets who didn't know what sort of benefits they were eligible for.
You can file the claim yourself. I'd offer that you should file as soon as you can, you may be eligible for some retroactive benefits. Good luck.
