VA Northern Indiana Health Care System will host a series of PACT Act Town Halls and Resource Fair

pact act

We invite you to participate in our PACT Act Town Halls and Resource Fair.

You probably have heard about the PACT Act, which is a historic new law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans who were exposed to toxic fumes and other hazards while fighting for our country.

Family members or dependents of a deceased Veteran may also qualify for various VA benefits.

The law empowers VA to provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.

  • Expands and extends eligibility for VA health care for Veterans with toxic exposures and Veterans of the Vietnam era, Gulf War era, and Post-9/11 combat Veterans
  • Adds more than 20 new presumptive conditions for burn pits and other toxic exposures
  • Adds more presumptive locations for Agent Orange and radiation exposure
  • Provides toxic exposure screenings to every Veteran enrolled in VA health care
  • Helps us improve research, staff education, and treatment related to toxic exposures.
