Twitch Chat: New Benefits Eligibility for Veterans Exposed to Toxins

Join VA and the Wounded Warrior Project’s streaming and gaming team for a live broadcast on Twitch, July 14 at 4:00 p.m. EDT, to learn about new presumptive conditions and eligibilities for VA benefits under the PACT Act. 

LEARN MORE

If you have been exposed to a toxic substance during your military service, you may be eligible for VA benefits, even if you have been turned down in the past. You must apply by August 9, 2023, to possibly have your benefits backdated to August 10, 2022, if approved.
