The PACT Act expands healthcare and benefits to veterans who were exposed to toxic substances during their time of service in the Vietnam, Gulf War and post-9/11 eras.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Thousands of veterans could be qualified for healthcare and benefits from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs., also known as the PACT Act, which allows veterans to apply for health care and benefits related to any toxic exposure while on active duty.
“It’s a new liberalizing law that is going to open the door to a lot more veterans to both healthcare with VA, as well as benefits through VA, and specifically having to do mainly with toxic burn pit exposures,” said Cory Hawthorne, regional director for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Montgomery.
