FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What conditions are presumptively linked to Agent Orange exposure?
The VA presumes that certain conditions are caused by Agent Orange exposure for veterans who served in Vietnam, Korea (DMZ), or other designated areas. These include Type 2 Diabetes, ischemic heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, various cancers (such as prostate, bladder, and respiratory), and chronic B-cell leukemias. This list has expanded over time, especially with the 2022 PACT Act.
Can I get VA disability for PTSD or other mental health conditions?
Yes. PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions are all eligible for VA compensation if they are service-connected. This means the condition must be linked to a specific event or period during your military service.
Who is covered under the PACT Act and what should I do if I believe I qualify?
Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Gulf War, and other specified locations after 1990 may now qualify for benefits under the PACT Act. It also retroactively covers Vietnam-era and Cold War veterans exposed to toxic chemicals.
If you believe you qualify, file a claim as soon as possible. If you were previously denied for a condition now covered under the PACT Act, you can file a supplemental claim. A veterans disability advocate can help maximize your chances of success.
What is DIC and who qualifies for it?
DIC (Dependency and Indemnity Compensation) is a tax-free monthly benefit paid to surviving spouses, children, or parents of veterans who died as a result of a service-connected disability. It’s also available if the veteran was rated totally disabled for at least 10 years prior to death.
Is sleep apnea a compensable condition with the VA?
Yes. Veterans can receive disability compensation for sleep apnea if it is service-connected. The condition must be diagnosed with a sleep study, and the severity of symptoms (such as the need for a CPAP machine) affects your rating.
Can sleep apnea be secondary to other service-connected conditions?
Absolutely. Many veterans receive service connection for sleep apnea as secondary to PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or other conditions. Medical nexus letters are often key in proving this relationship.
What rating can I get for sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea is typically rated at 0%, 30%, 50%, or 100%, depending on the severity. Use of a CPAP machine generally qualifies for a 50% rating.
