Birth defects in children of female Vietnam veterans

Veterans Affairs presumes that certain birth defects in the biological children of female Vietnam veterans were caused by military service when the birth mother served in Vietnam between Feb. 28, 1961, and May 7, 1975. Eligible children may receive VA benefits. Birth defects covered by VA are abnormalities present at birth that result in mental or physical disabilities. VA recognizes a wide range of birth defects as associated with women veterans’ service in Vietnam.
