On the EVSA noticeboard that there has been a discussion on diabetes.
The conditions around Type 2 diabetes for Vietnam Veterans is quite clear and VANZ confirms that:
"Type 2 diabetes is one of the conditions included on the Presumptive List for Vietnam veterans. All veterans who have qualifying service for Vietnam are covered by this list. As such the only evidence required to substantiate a claim for this condition or any other condition on the presumptive list is;
1. The veteran has eligible service in Vietnam
2. The veteran has medical evidence that confirms that they have the condition. (In this case Type 2 diabetes)"
If there are any Vietnam veterans who have had Type 2 diabetes applications declined, contact Rick Ottaway, General Manager/Secretary for War Pensions at Veterans' Affairs NZ would be happy to investigate their case.
