Veterans & Lymphoma Ā  VA presumes non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is related to a Veteran’s:

  • Exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service or
  • Service in Vietnam or in the offshore waters of Vietnam during the Vietnam Era.

These Veterans do not have to prove a connection between their disease and service to be eligible to receive VA health care and disability compensation.

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences concluded in its 1994 report on “Veterans and Agent Orange: Health Effects of Herbicides Used in Vietnam” and in future updates that there is sufficient evidence of a positive association between exposure to herbicides (2,4-D; 2,4,5-T and its contaminant TCDD; cacodylic acid; and picloram) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
