Burn Pits, Radiation, and Thyroid Cancer: VA Support for Veterans

Thyroid cancer rates among veterans have nearly doubled in recent years. Research links this rise to toxic exposures like burn pits and ionizing radiation during service.

The VA now recognizes thyroid cancer as a presumptive condition under the PACT Act for veterans exposed to burn pits, and for those involved in radiation-risk activities including duty on nuclear-powered ships and submarines.

That means eligible veterans don’t have to prove a direct connection between their cancer and service to receive VA disability benefits.

Veterans actively receiving treatment are granted a temporary 100% VA disability rating, which is reassessed after treatment ends. Those exposed to asbestos on ships or submarines may also face combined risks from multiple toxic sources.

If you or a loved one served in a qualifying location and were later diagnosed with thyroid cancer, you may qualify for VA compensation.

📖 Read the full article to learn how the VA supports veterans with thyroid cancer and how to apply for benefits.

Fukushima’s Refugees: Why Have They Been Abandoned?

[bijacoaching-blog]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YTL97CtvMc I'm in the last week of my vegan whole 30/Virgin Diet and I have had a lot to think about as far as the local (24 hour delivery time) food that I eat, the wild caught salmon, and the impact that Japan's Fukushima has had, and will continue to have on my family as the contamination continues. Children are most at risk of suffering from radiation exposure due to their smaller weight, height and more active metabolism. They receive five to six times more radioactivity than adults. And most of the west coast tests have found radiation in the waters, and in the milk. In fact pink salmon are being found canary yellow on the Canadian coast.
