PACT Act — Toxic Exposure Claims
Millions of veterans are now eligible for new VA benefits they never had access to before. Is your condition covered?
This Is the Biggest VA Expansion in Decades
The PACT Act (2022) opened VA healthcare and disability benefits to veterans who were previously excluded due to the difficulty of proving toxic exposure caused their conditions. Now, conditions are presumed to be service-connected for veterans who served in the right locations.
Burn Pit Exposure
Veterans who served near open burn pits in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other Southwest Asia locations are now covered.
Agent Orange
Vietnam-era veterans and others exposed to Agent Orange have expanded presumptive coverage for many conditions.
Radiation Exposure
Cold War-era veterans and others exposed to ionizing radiation during testing or duty are covered.
Dozens of Cancers
Many cancers are now presumptive conditions for eligible veterans, removing the need to prove the service connection.
