There is an appeal process. Contact the DAV or PVA for assistance in preparing your appeal.

Yes, there is definitely an appeal process. If the cancer is on the list of those presumed to be due to Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam, service connection "should" be granted without a problem. If not, you definitely have grounds to appeal. If the cancer is not on the list, you still need to appeal and use a medical opinion that the cancer is still connected to the exposure. If you have any further questions, feel free to email me directly.

thanks and good luck.
