Do you know your exposure risk? Your military service may have impacted your health in ways you may not realize.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes certain diseases and medical conditions as presumptively related to military service. These include conditions associated with exposure to chemical, physical, and environmental hazards, including burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation, and other toxic substances.
NDVS encourages veterans to complete the NDVS Exposure Risk Questionnaire. It is designed to raise awareness and help veterans better understand potential exposures associated with their military service and the VA benefits that may be available for presumption conditions.
Once you complete the questionnaire, you may request to speak with an NDVS Veterans Service Officer to learn more about your earned benefits. VSO assistance is free.
The PACT Act significantly expanded VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances during military service. The law established additional presumptive conditions, including certain cancers, and respiratory illnesses, making it easier for eligible veterans to receive VA care and disability compensation.
Veterans are also encouraged to discuss potential military exposures with their health care providers.
Information provided through the NDVS Exposure Risk Questionnaire is confidential and will not be shared, unless you choose to share it.
