## **VA Disability Benefits for Military Toxic Exposure**

Veterans may qualify for **VA disability benefits** for serious health conditions caused by toxic exposures during military service. While Agent Orange, burn pits, and Camp Lejeune water contamination are well known, many veterans were exposed to other hazardous chemicals and environmental toxins in the course of their duties.

Industrial cleaners, jet fuels, firefighting foam, asbestos, radiation, contaminated base water, heavy metals, and other environmental hazards have all been linked to chronic illnesses in veterans. If you developed respiratory issues, neurological symptoms, cancer, autoimmune disorders, or other long-term health problems after service, you may be entitled to VA disability compensation.

If toxic exposure contributed to your condition, we can help you pursue service connection, strengthen your evidence, and fight for the disability rating you deserve.

## **What Counts as a Military Toxic Exposure?**

Toxic exposure occurs when a service member comes into contact with hazardous chemicals, fumes, particulate matter, or contaminated environments during military service. Exposure may happen through inhalation, skin contact, ingestion, or prolonged environmental contact.

Unlike some well-known exposure categories, not all toxic exposures are automatically presumed by the VA. However, that does not mean you do not qualify for benefits. Many veterans can still establish service connections with the right medical evidence and documentation.

## **Common Military Toxic Exposures Beyond Agent Orange and Burn Pits**

Veterans may have encountered hazardous substances in a variety of military roles, including aviation, maintenance, engineering, shipboard service, and base operations. Examples of other toxic exposures include:

- Jet fuel exposure (JP-4, JP-8)
- Industrial cleaning chemicals and degreasers
- Firefighting foam (PFAS exposure)
- Asbestos exposure
- Lead-based paint and heavy metals
- Radiation exposure
- Contaminated base water outside of Camp Lejeune
- Mold in military housing or barracks
- Pesticides and herbicides
- Battery acid and fuel vapors

Exposure may have been routine and repeated rather than tied to a single incident. Even long-term low-level exposure can contribute to chronic health conditions.
