Filing VA claims for testicular cancer: proof of connection is still required
The PACT Act only considers presumptive conditions for burn pits, Agent Orange, and other chemical or radiation exposures at specific deployment locations. PFAS or AFFF exposure is not included in the lists of exposures covered by the presumptives. However, in 2024, the PACT Act was expanded to make veterans who were exposed to any toxin eligible to enroll in VA health care, including military firefighters who developed testicular cancer after years of AFFF exposure. With this new expansion, military firefighters can enroll in VA healthcare without having to file for disability benefits first.
If you have been diagnosed with testicular cancer, we highly encourage you to file VA claims to get your disability benefits. You may also file an AFFF claim against firefighting foam manufacturers. For both of these claims, you need to show proof that your testicular cancer diagnosis is connected to your AFFF exposure. You may consult with our attorneys to discuss these options further.
