VA extends health care eligibility to veterans exposed to toxins
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has expanded health care eligibility to millions of veterans who were exposed to toxins and other hazards during their military service, including those who served in the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, and any other combat zone after 9/11. This expansion eliminates the phased-in approach called for by the PACT Act, allowing millions of veterans to become eligible for VA health care up to eight years earlier than written into law. The VA encourages all eligible veterans to enroll in VA health care without first applying for VA benefits, as VA hospitals have been proven to have better health outcomes and are often more affordable than non-VA health care for veterans.
