Veterans who served on open sea ships off the shore of Vietnam during
the Vietnam War are sometimes called "Blue Water Veterans."
Blue Water Veterans must have actually stepped foot on the land of
Vietnam or served on its inland waterways anytime between January 9,
1962 and May 7, 1975 to be presumed to have been exposed to
herbicides when claiming service-connection for diseases related to
Agent Orange exposure.
Blue Water Veterans who did not set foot in Vietnam or serve aboard
ships that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam anytime
between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975 must show on a factual basis
that they were exposed to herbicides during military service in order to
receive disability compensation for diseases related to Agent Orange
exposure. These claims are decided on a case-by-case basis.
