» Gulf War related exposures: Veterans may have been exposed to a variety of environmental hazards including pesticides and oil well fires.
» Agent Orange: An herbicide used to thin-out thick foliage commonly found in jungles and fields.
» Radiation: Exposure from sources such as nuclear weapons.
» Camp Lejeune contaminated water exposure: Between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, Veterans and their families may have been exposed to contaminated drinking water.
» Other exposures: There are other potential toxic exposures that may occur during military service.

VA PRESUMPTIVE CONDITIONS
Veterans may be eligible for disability benefits and/or compensation if they have a health condition that results in disability and was connected to their military service. For many health conditions, you need to prove that your service caused your condition. For some conditions, we automatically assume (or “presume”) that your service caused your condition. We call these “presumptive conditions.” We consider a condition presumptive when it’s established by law or regulation. If you have a presumptive condition, you do not need to prove that your service caused the condition. You only need to meet the service requirements for the presumption.
BENEFITS
» Veterans with presumptive diseases may be eligible for benefits such as disability compensation
» Surviving spouses, dependent children and/or parents of deceased Veterans may be eligible for benefits such as dependency and indemnity compensation and accrued benefits
