Of course. You might have had contact with certain environmental hazards while serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas.
Yes, that is correct.
You also may have illnesses or other conditions believed to be caused by these toxic chemicals in the air, water, or soil.
I do and that's exactly what I'm getting at. What kind of disability benefits can I get?
You can get health care and compensation payments.
That means that Veterans are covered, right?
Correct, Veterans are covered.
So what does the process of filing for these benefits look like?
When you file, you'll have to show that your health problems are linked to your contact with certain environmental hazards while serving in the military.
And then I can get disability benefits from VA?
