Lock In Your Toxic Exposure Screening Today

Lock in your toxic exposure record today. Call your VA clinic or send a secure message to your primary care and ask for the VA Toxic Exposure Screening; it takes minutes and creates an official note listing where/when you were exposed (burn pits, AO, radiation, etc.). That entry gives your future or current PACT Act claims a paper trail and helps raters connect the dots. After it’s done, download the visit summary and upload it to your claim. Not sure where to book? Check VA.gov.

About VA Claim Helper

VA Claim Helper is led by a U.S. Navy submariner (ET2/SS, USS Pittsburgh 1995–2005) translating VA law into plain-English claim strategy so veterans can document service connection, prep for C&P exams, and win ratings without guesswork.

We publish daily VA disability tips, evidence checklists, and field manuals that walk you from Intent to File through appeals. Every guide is battle-tested with the veteran community and refreshed when VA policy shifts so the intel stays mission ready.
