It has been recently revealed that the reviews done by the Veterans Affairs Minister have resulted in accepting the compensation claims made by 30 people in the Agent Orange case that had earlier been denied.

It has been revealed by Brunswick News that these claims were finalized; only hours before the review were wrapped up. These also included 17 such cases in which the caregivers were denied compensation for their work, and the victims were forced to leave their homes for a better care environment.

The other cases also included the ones which were denied due to delay in the medical diagnosis. The victims shall now be paid a sum of $20,000 for the ill effects of the toxic herbicides that were sprayed in Canada in the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown, in the year 1960.

There has been a long hearing involved in this process and the sufferers of the deformities have been continuing to lead their lives with lots of difficulties every day. Agent Orange led to terrible and ghastly looking deformities in people, who were affected by this toxic herbicide spray.

"Not only did we extend the deadline for applications in December 2010, we are once again showing more flexibility with the applications of those individuals who may have experienced difficulties applying for the Agent Orange Program”, revealed Codie Taylor, from Blaney. She further added that the Minister had called for a more compassionate review on the matter that would make decisions after considering the sort of difficulty the people are living with.

These funds cannot undo what damage has been done on their bodies and minds, but will help in making their life easier, with an easy access to treatment and other necessities in life.
