JOPLIN, Mo. - The Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks is promoting the PACT Act, a new law that enhances VA healthcare and benefits for Veterans.
The deadline is approaching for veterans to get their full range of benefits under the PACT Act. The law expanding eligibility for healthcare benefits for vets related to burn pit, Agent Orange and other chemical exposures is one of the largest VA expansions in U.S. history.
FAYETTEVILLE A federal law passed last year makes medical care and possibly additional benefits available to military veterans exposed to toxins from burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic substances during their service.
