Hello, I have some questions about being exposed to dangerous chemicals.
Of course. We can find out if you can get disability compensation monthly payments and other benefits for illnesses or other conditions, like the ones listed below. These are illnesses and conditions we believe may be caused by contact with harmful chemicals or other hazardous materials while serving in the military.
================
Do you offer medical care for veterans who volunteered for medical research?
Yes. Are you a Veteran who volunteered for medical research for the U.S. biological and chemical programs between 1942 and 1975?
No, not during these years.
Where can I find information about this topic?
Simply visit the U.S. Army web page, or call 800-984-8523.
I wrote it down. Now back to our conversation, what if I had volunteered during the years you mentioned? Would I have gotten benefits?
Yes. In that case, you could get medical care through the U.S. Army, provided you volunteered for this research and have an injury or illness directly caused by your participation.
Alright. Where can I find more information about this?
Simply visit the U.S. Army web page, or call 800-984-8523.
The same places you mentioned before, I understand. What if I served in Afghanistan? Surely this must be addressed somehow.
If you served in Afghanistan, you may be at risk of certain illnesses or other conditions linked to this region.
