Do you know if you were exposed to burn pit toxins?
VA considers you to have a presumption of exposure to burn pits if you served in any of these locations or their airspace:
- After September 11, 2001 – Afghanistan, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Uzbekistan, or Yemen.
- On or after August 2, 1990 - Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, or the UAE.
If this applies to you, there’s two things you should do now:
- Sign up for the burn pit registry even if you don’t think you were exposed or don’t have any symptoms.
- Visit www.va.gov/PACT to learn more about the new benefits and services you may be eligible for because of your exposure.
