Is it true that veterans are entitled to disability benefits for toxic exposure?
Unclear. Several sources confirm that veterans are entitled to disability benefits for service-related disabilities, and one notes herbicide exposure was deemed compensable and that the PACT Act addresses toxic exposures. None directly states a general entitlement to benefits specifically for toxic exposure.
