Got it. We are talking about environmental hazards that impacted my health in a bad way during my service, right?
Yes, you may have illnesses or other conditions believed to be caused by toxic chemicals in the air, water, or soil.
And if these factors have caused my disability, I qualify for benefits?
Correct. You may be able to get disability benefits if you have an illness or other condition believed to be caused by your contact with an environmental hazard while serving in the military. For example, due to contact with particulate matter or large burn pits in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.
