VA on Toxic Exposure Claims: What vets need to do right now

Now that the law establishes a service connection for 23+ health conditions, we asked VA Press Secretary, Terrence Hayes, “What do veterans need to do next?” Hayes is more than just a senior VA spokesperson. He spent over a year in Iraq and truly understands how toxic exposures have hurt veterans over the last two decades.

In this interview, we discussed:

• Precisely which health conditions are now presumed to be “service-connected”?
• What vets need to do right now?
• Does VA have the staff to process all these new claims?
• Will the backlog will affect how VA processes these claims?
• When veterans can expect to get their claims approved?

Veterans- start the process today!
