Good morning, how you doing?. I was a service member sometime ago and i think i was exposed to some hazards out there, can you help me?
Did you served in Iraq, Afghanistan or any related areas?
Yeah, that's correct. It does affect me?
You may, indeed. If you served on those areas, you may have illnesses or other conditions believed to be caused by these toxic chemicals in the air, water, or soil.
================
Oh, that doesn't sounds good. Then i guess i'll have to file some requests on that, isn't?. What happens then?
Well, if you file a request, then you'll have to show that your health issue is related or linked to your contact with certain enviromental hazards while serving with the military.
That would need to be a disability claim, isn't?
That's correct. Although, more specifically, would need to be a disability compensation. Remember you have to prove that you were in contact with the hazardous element.
================
O.k., i'm taking notes about this. Could you tell me who is covered by this?
Sure. This apply for veterans only.
================
Well, that was kind of obvious, i think. What about the things i was supposed to be in contact? Which things?
Yeah, in certain way it was pretty obvious. In regad to your question, materials include the following: Particulate matter or large burn pits in Iraq, Afghanistan and Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.
================
Um, o.k. Lest say i'm able to get these coverage. What i would get, then?
No problem. Basic things you'll get would be Health care and compensation payments.
