[ RadSafe ] Question about a service-connected condition

[Eric D]

Compensation is a VA issue.  The DoD is required to provide the VA with the
information concerning exposure so the VA can make a determination of
service related or not using probability of causation.  He qualifies as an
atomic veteran and should contact the Defense Threat Reduction Agency
http://www.dtra.mil/ and they will enroll him in their program and will
reconstruct his dose. The VA is very lenient on how it uses PC tables but
this one is unlikely because, the last time I checked an emphysema-related
condition is not radiogenic.
