Congressman: New law to help veterans exposed to toxic substances during war

 
 

The PACT Act, authored by Takano and signed by Biden on Aug. 10, expands Veterans Affairs health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances, according to the VA. It adds more than 20 new presumptive conditions for burn pits and other toxic exposures, as well as presumptive-exposure locations for Agent Orange and radiation. Presumptive conditions mean the veteran does not have to prove their service caused the condition; they only need to meet the service requirements.
