<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The VA does not provide health care or disability compensation for &#39;exposure&#39; - they only provide those for service connected injuries or illnesses. If you don&#39;t have an injury or illness, then enjoy your health!!!! If at a later point you develop something that can be tied back to your service, then at that point the VA will proceed with benefits you&#39;re eligible for.<br /><br />Do you have an illness or injury from your time in the service? If you believe that you might have some conditions tied to DU exposure, read through the webpage* at the VA detailing possible exposure and health issues.<br />---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/depleted_uranium/">https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/depleted_uranium/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> <img src="https://d1ndsj6b8hkqu9.cloudfront.net/link_data_pictures/images/000/774/364/qrc/open-uri20230202-27485-yca5oy"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/depleted_uranium/">VA.gov | Veterans Affairs</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description">Apply for and manage the VA benefits and services you’ve earned as a Veteran, Servicemember, or family member—like health care, disability, education, and more.</p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div>

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Reach out to a service officer from DAV or VFW for help with a claim

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Presumptive just means if you have certain conditions, such as certain cancers that are prevalent in people who were at those locations, then the VA automatically presumes it was service connected. You no longer have to struggle to prove your lung cancer is connected to burn pits.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why do you think that you were exposed to uranium? The vast majority of information about uranium on the internet is not accurate. The most accurate report I have found is from Portugal <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/docum/relat/kosovo/rel_final_ing170401.pdf">http://www.ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/docum/relat/kosovo/rel_final_ing170401.pdf</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default"> <div class="pta-link-card-picture"> </div> <div class="pta-link-card-content"> <p class="pta-link-card-title"> <a target="blank" href="http://www.ctn.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/docum/relat/kosovo/rel_final_ing170401.pdf">rel_final_ing170401.pdf</a> </p> <p class="pta-link-card-description"></p> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div>
