There is less than a week left to file for benefits under the PACT Act, the largest expansion of VA benefits in history for veterans who were exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, Gulf War toxins, and radiation.
The full title of this legislation honors the memory of Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson, of the Ohio Army National Guard. He died of lung cancer at just 39, an illness believed to be caused by his exposure to burn pits during his deployment to the Middle East.
Now, this overdue and necessary legislation will improve the care and benefits our Veterans receive by:
Expanding and extending eligibility for VA health care for Veterans with toxic exposures and Veterans of the Vietnam, Gulf War, and post-9/11 eras;
Adding 20+ more presumptive conditions for burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic exposures;
Including more presumptive-exposure locations for Agent Orange and radiation;
Requiring the VA to provide a toxic exposure screening to every Veteran enrolled in VA health care; and
Improving research, staff education, and treatment related to toxic exposures.
Does this apply to you or a loved one? If so, please claim your benefits and share this information with friends and family. Time is limited and I want to make sure every Veteran has the information they need to learn more and file a claim. [link removed] [[link removed]]
