Does anyone have any idea in regard to disability claim for exposure to burn pits in Iraq?

I recently went through C&P exams for several issues. On each item that could be considered OIF\OEF\Gulf War related, we discussed whether I was exposed to burn pits, smoke, etc. I can't say that everyone will have the same experience, but that is what happened with me.

As with any VA claim, documentation is the key. Get documentation or witness statements about exposure, then medical documentation of the related issues. I have found that the VA is doing better, at least where I am in Lexington, KY. Someone that knows the ropes on VA Claims can also help with the process.

However, I was told the first step in claiming anything OIF\OEF\Gulf War related was to get a Gulf War registry exam. The VA has extended that to cover OIF and OEF as well.

Here is another possible resource:
