Overview
Service members were exposed to countless toxic substances at military bases nationwide, including PFAS, asbestos, Agent Orange, burn pits, and contaminated water. The current denial rate for VA disability claims is 75%, so veterans are strongly encouraged to seek representation. ELG has 35+ years of experience filing claims on behalf of ill veterans and can pursue both VA disability compensation and parallel toxic exposure claims.
