VA expanded eligibility for Veterans with the PACT Act. Instead of needing to prove health conditions from toxic exposures are linked to your military service, VA now assumes/presumes that the condition is service-related if you served in certain locations at certain times.

This includes links to exposures for things like burn pits, Gulf War-related exposures, Agent Orange, radiation, Camp Lejeune contaminated water, and other exposures. Many eras of Veterans may be eligible.

Special enrollment period:
Post-9/11 Veterans discharged before October 1, 2013, can enroll in VA health care during a special 1-year enrollment period between October 1, 2022, and October 1, 2023.

You can reapply if VA previously denied your claim.
Surviving family members may be eligible for for benefits.
