[VA Disability for Burn Pit Exposure
Military burn pits were used extensively during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to dispose of waste materials
While these burn pits were meant to be a temporary solution, they were used for over a decade, exposing many military personnel to toxic fumes and particulate matter. Airborne hazards and toxic exposure have led to various illnesses, including cancer and other chronic conditions.
Burn pits are large open-air areas where waste materials such as plastics, chemicals, human waste, and medical supplies are burned.
Exposure can lead to the development of serious health conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease.
Veterans exposed to toxic fumes and particles should watch for symptoms such as chronic coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, headaches, and joint pain
Though the Department of Defense has closed many burn pits, numerous veterans were exposed to these toxic chemicals for extended periods of time.
This has led to a growing concern about the long-term health effects of burn pit exposure among veterans and their families.
The Department of Veterans Affairs established an open burn pit registry for servicemen and women who were exposed.
This registry allows the VA to track the veterans' health and provides them with information about potential health risks.
Burn Pit Illnesses List
The V A and Department of Defense are actively researching long-term illnesses and cancers caused by burn pits.
Though there are many factors that affect the risk of developing these illnesses, the following conditions have been added to the list of presumptive conditions: Brain cancer, Gastrointestinal cancer of any type, Head cancer of any type, Kidney cancer, Lymphoma of any type, Melanoma, Pancreatic cancer, Respiratory (breathing-related) cancer of any type, Chronic bronchitis, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Emphysema and many more.
In addition to the registry, the VA offers disability benefits.
To be eligible, you must have a diagnosed illness or condition that is service-connected to your burn pit exposure.
You can do this by submitting a claim online, by mail, or in person at your local VA office.
The VA conducts ongoing research and may update policies accordingly. Presumptive conditions associated with burn pit exposure may change as more research is conducted.
Additionally, it’s important to remember that not all veterans exposed to burn pits will develop related health conditions, and not all health conditions are necessarily caused by burn pit exposure.
Veterans should consult a medical professional for any health concerns, and consider filing a claim if they believe it is service-related.
