On today's episode, we had an engaging conversation with a Veteran Service Officer, Mike Wyatt. We uncovered the layers of the PACT Act, a game-changer that expands VA healthcare and benefits to veterans exposed to burn pits, agent orange, and other toxic substances.
Mike explores the significance of documenting these toxic exposures for future claims and the crucial role of clear communication with Veteran Service Officers (VSOs). Mike also shares his personal experiences navigating this complex system and emphasized the importance of self-advocacy and accessing community care.
Join us in this enlightening conversation to broaden your understanding of the PACT Act and its impact on veterans' health.
