I am on the registry. I did it about 6 months ago. Early in the Iraq war I was stationed at camp anaconda , it was a huge base And they had a burn pit That went nearly all day every day of the week. I had black soot on my uniform constantly and a smoke from the burnt pit would obscure the guard towers view.
@@TheVeteranCoach Have not done a claim for PACT, I don't think I present any symptoms. Can I file a claim if I don't feelI present symptoms? I just retired, and filed my initial VA claim and amm waiting for my decision at the end of March.
@@TheVeteranCoach I am rated 100% P & T. I don't know if I can even claim PACT Act bennies. No other way to go higher in compensation unless I qualify for SMC... which I don't.
THANK YOU!!! I have been dealing with a company to get my VA ratings increased and asked that the presumptive condition from my PACT act letter be included. They are clueless, I'm fighting and educating them to include my presumptive condition. I learned more today through your video than I ever did with them. They just kept trying to rationalize that I am not qualified when I am! I have Been dealing with rhinitis through three prescriptions since leaving the middle East until today. Thank you again. Now I know what to do. The registry is something wasn't aware of. I will do that today.
There are many companies pushing bad advice, make sure to Google reviews on BBB before signing up with anyone assisting with disability! Glad I was able to help 😊
This perfectly guided me to get the registry done! Thank you for spending the time to do this for veterans. Also, if you are a veteran yourself, thank you for your service.
Can I service connect a condition if I suffered an illness or injury while on Title 32 502 F Orders ?..... I was diagnosed, sleep studied, and received a CPAP Machine while on Title 32 502 F Orders. However, the VA denied my Obstructive Sleep Apnea for not being Service Connected......Can you please answer this for me ?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. YOUR CONTENT IS SO HELPFUL.
Its a very obscure quistionnaire. No "comments" columns to explain each unique person's experience. In Desert Shield/Storm I was never at an established base, just at mobile camps throughout the Saudi desert then into Iraq. But i couldn't explain that. But I registeted the best I could. 😅
The registry questionnaire is very basic, just listing regions and time frames. Once you get into the actual claims process, you can get into the details about exposure, symptoms etc.

I was found eligible and just got a notice to complete the questionnaire yesterday. Does BPR participation factor into VA disability considerations? I have allergic rhinitis 10% but like I commented on another video am trying to get secondary OSA because of the AR; burn pits may have contributed to it. not sure.
OSA can be filed secondary to many things, including rhinitis and AR but proving the connection can still be quite a process. The more contributing/aggravating factors you can link it to, the higher the chance of service connection. Burn pits are certainly a contributing factor, but at the moment OSA is not a stand-alone presumptive claim.

0:17 I am currently working on my VA benefits but I haven’t filed yet because I have an OTH and was barred from my benefits until they changed the laws. I recently found out about this and could really use some assistance to get me through this process. My name is Christopher
@@TheVeteranCoach saw that they extended it to the 14th, will i be able to put a claim in without all off the necessary medical documents? I have proof being exposed to burn pits including my orders and pictures
Are veterans who were contractors at the time of exposure eligible? I supervised the FN's that worked the burn pit at FOB Dwyer from 2011 to 2013 so I was exposed daily, but at that time I was a contractor for a company with a contract through the DOD (Dynacorp).

My deployment was with a MEU but did training in Djibouti. No base just out in the field. Should i just put the base that was in Djibouti? Its a required field under deployment.

Super important step when filing for PACT Act claims. Are you getting your benefits?

your husband is a very lucky man... thanks for the helpful video!
I'm divorced, but thank you! 😅
Thank you for this video. I went to the VA site and I'm now on the Registry. Thank you again.
Wonderful! Glad you got the process started. Have you filed any claims related to your exposure?
@@TheVeteranCoach not yet. I plan to file for GERD/Tinnitus soon.

Hey there! We could definitely take a look at your case and see what you may be entitled to. Email at laura@theveteran.coach
i wish i saw this before i did the registry!
Have you filed anything? It's not too late!

Give as much information as you are able to. The environmental coordinator may reach out with additional questions if your form isn't complete
I tried to do it following you but it didn’t work
Where did you get stuck, maybe we can help? Laura@theveteran.coach
@@TheVeteranCoach I figured it out
Thanks for your help
