That includes expanding toxic-exposed veterans access to VA care, extends health care eligibility for Vietnam, Gulf War, and Post 9/11-era combat veterans, and adds new presumptive conditions for radiation, agent orange, gulf war toxins, and burn pit exposures.
According to the VA, questions regarding those changes will be answered during the Friday, April 7 Pact Act Resources and VA Health Care Enrollment. The session will be held that afternoon, from 1:30 to 4:30, at the Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Hall, located at 819 Commercial Street, in Atchison.
According to the release, those who attend will receive information regarding VA health care eligibility and enrollment, access to veterans service reps for VA disability claims, toxic exposure information, and informmation pertaining to presumptive conditions.
