Toxic Exposure (PACT Act)

Nevada veterans and their families are encouraged to learn about their eligibility, complete the Exposure Risk Questionnaire, and connect with a Veterans Service Officer for support.

The PACT Act expands VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation, and other toxic substances during service. It adds new presumptive conditions—including certain cancers and respiratory illnesses—making it easier for veterans to qualify for care and compensation. Nevada veterans and their families are encouraged to learn about their eligibility, complete the Exposure Risk Questionnaire, and connect with a Veterans Service Officer for free support.

Exposure Risk Questionnaire

Your service in the U.S. military may impact your health.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs presumes certain disabilities, diseases and conditions are directly related to the unique set of circumstances required by military service.

Presumed conditions also include a range of exposures to chemical, physical, and environmental hazards during military service.

Do you know your exposure risk? Take our questionnaire. Once you are finished, you may ask to speak with a Veterans Service Officer to inquire about earned benefits. The service is free. Exposure Risk Information and Resources are also available.

You may also want to share this information with your health care provider.

The information you share in this questionnaire is confidential and will not be shared with anyone, unless you share it.  The purpose of this questionnaire is to raise awareness and educate veterans about their health as well as earned benefits from presumed conditions.

NDVS (Nevada Department of Veterans Services) is currently dealing with a large number of requests.

VSO intake appointments are taking about 30–90 days to schedule. The wait time depends on which location you choose and appointment availability. If you have already submitted a request, you may need to wait longer than usual for someone to contact you. It does not necessarily mean your request has a problem, it’s primarily a notice about the current backlog.
