Help For Edgewood Arsenal Veterans
Are you an Edgewood Arsenal Test Participant?
Between 1948 and 1975, the United States Army Chemical Corps conducted experimental medical testing on "volunteer" veterans. These veterans were exposed to all sorts of mental and physical experiments, which included the exposure and administration of various chemicals and psychotropic medications. As a result of participation in these experiments, these volunteer veterans suffered lifetime physical and mental disabilities.
When these veterans agreed to participate in the testing program, they were required to signed a secrecy agreement which prohibited them from disclosing their participation in the program or discussing the program under penalty of imprisonment. In 2003 a partial release from that agreement was provided by the VA, and a full release was made in 2007.
In 2007, Bruce Taylor, an Edgewood Arsenal test participant, filed a claim for disability benefits with the VA, requesting an earlier effective date to the day after he was discharged from the service. The VA denied his claim. Mr. Taylor retained Mark B. Jones to represent him in the appeal of this claim. Mark B. Jones argued to case before the United States Court Of Appeals for Veteran's Claims in 2019, in Washington DC. The Court denied the Claim in a 2 to 1 decision, which Mr. Taylor and Mark B. Jones appealed.
On June 15, 2023, the United States Court Of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the Court directly below the US Supreme Court, awarded Mr. Taylor benefits for his Edgewood Arsenal related disabilities effective to the day after he was discharged from the Army.
Since that time, Mark B. Jones has represented other Edgewood Arsenal participants and obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits for these Edgewood veterans.
If you would like to file a claim for disability benefits stemming from your participation in the Edgewood Arsenal project, Mark B. Jones would love to talk to you about your claim. Talking with Mark is free, and you can decide after talking with him if you want help in filing your claim.
