VA says PACT Act helping thousands exposed to toxic fumes during military service

Retired Army Colonel DJ Reyes says before the PACT Act, veterans had a hard time getting benefits to help treat health issues likely caused by breathing in toxins. “The onus was on the veteran to prove that they got sick from being overseas. And that was the problem,” said Reyes. Reyes says he was exposed to burn pits in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where the military would dispose of trash, wreckage, and even raw sewage.
