Have you been exposed to a toxic substance during your service? If so, you may be eligible for VA benefits, even if you have been turned down in the past, and it is important for you to apply now.
The PACT Act is a new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that we assume (or “presume”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.
Join representatives from VA and the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) for an Instagram Live on May 25 at 2:30 p.m. eastern time, to learn more about this expanded eligibility and what action to take.
