Veterans dependents Agent Orange claims
(03/29/09 - 04:12 PM)

Great read.. Thank you for placing your wisdom where some can read it. I was trying to angle this into my families life... where the ruling/ decision has not been made in death of military persons exposed to Agent Orange. The claims have not been decided as YET... Haas v Nicholas is one such delay tactic .
In the event of my mothers death could/ should the monies that her estate should have been receiving during her life time be considered an asset/property.? Especially since the govnt and Monsanto company deliberately and with disregard exposed our military persons and now way lay the process of payment/compensation. Just a thought for you to consider! Take care, Janet Croxton Brown
