EDINBURG – A Rio Grande Valley veteran who deals with Agent Orange-related problems is looking for help from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

He wants the VA to work through his daughter who can help him to stay on top of his benefit claims and finances.

"It helps the veteran or the beneficiary who, probably because of old age or because of their current medical condition or even because they are unable to fix their finance status... A fiduciary is now being appointed by the VA," Rubio explains.
