PACT Act is two years old!
The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins (PACT) Act is now two years old. This law has been the most significant expansion of benefits and health care for toxic exposed veterans and their survivors in over thirty years.
To reach this milestone, VA has processed more than 2 million claims in 2024 – another all-time record, on pace to surpass last year’s record by more than 27%. VA encourages all Veterans, family members, caregivers, and survivors to learn more about VA and apply for their world-class health care and earned benefits today. Learn more by reading the White House press release.
Tips to protect your benefits from claim predators
For Veterans, taking advantage of VA benefits after serving their country is crucial. Knowing how to apply securely through the VA claims process, where to find VA accredited attorneys, claims agents, and VSO representatives or verify accreditation before engaging with any individual or company is essential. You do not have to pay a fee to file an initial claim for benefits.
