CLARIFICATION FROM THE VA
Received Friday, 7/28/2023
The intent of the PACT ACT register is to have a record on file with the VA for your specific exposure (listed above). It DOES NOT mean you are paid any monetary compensation.
If you have a medical condition that occurred as a result of your exposure, you should work with a VSO or the Office of Eligibility at Martinsburg to file a Disability Benefits Claim – this means you have a medical condition that is a presumptive condition for your specific exposure. If you register for a toxic exposure (list above), and you haven’t had a medical condition that occurred yet, the PACT ACT registry will just stay on file with the VA under your Social Security number. If a presumptive condition occurs in the future, you can then file a Disability Benefits Claim, and the VA will see that you have a registry on file.
Getting on the Toxic Exposure Registry is not required, it is there if you want to be on it.
