PACT Act — Toxic Exposure Presumptive Conditions
The 2022 PACT Act expanded VA presumptive service connection for burn pit, Agent Orange, and radiation exposure to millions of additional veterans.
Who qualifies: Veterans, Veterans with a service-connected disability.
The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022 is the largest expansion of VA benefits in decades:
• Adds 23 burn pit and toxic exposure-related conditions as presumptive service-connected
• Extends benefits to Blue Water Navy Vietnam veterans (Agent Orange)
• New presumptives for radiation exposure
• Expanded eligibility for veterans who served in Southwest Asia (1990—present)
• Over 100,000 new healthcare enrollees in early 2026
