  • More PACT Act Information:

    The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that we assume (or “presume”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve.

    You can call 800-698-2411 (TTY: 711) to ask questions about the PACT Act and you can file a claim for PACT Act-related disability compensation or apply for VA health care now.

    Learn more about PACT Act Eligibility and see new presumptive conditions, locations, and time periods of service.

    If you are interested in registering for the Airborne Hazards and Burn Pit Registry visit this site to get started and be ready for a follow-up action at the PACT Act Event.

    While there is no deadline to apply for PACT Act-related benefits, there is urgency.
    Most Veterans and survivors who apply for benefits or submit an “Intent to File” by August 9, if granted, will have their benefits backdated to August 10, 2022. Call 800-827-1000, Mon-Fri, 8am-9pm ET.
