The PACT Act & Your VA Benefits
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.

Jacob enlisted in the Army in 2006, he was deployed to Iraq from 2007-2008, and honorably discharged by December 2010.
During deployment Jacob was in a guard tower where their burn pit was no more than 40 feet away from FOB Hammer.
Since his return he suffers from ailments including double vision,
gait impairment, speech dysarthria, breathing problems, enlarged liver, migraines, and shrinking of the cerebellum.
Jacob's story is just one of hundreds of thousands of veterans
suffering from "Burn Pit Exposure".
