Welcome back to VA Made Easy. In today's episode, Ed Farmer, VA disability appeals attorney and combat veteran, delves into the complexities of filing a service-connected disability claim related to PFAS exposure in the military. Ed breaks down the key steps in winning a claim, emphasizing the importance of not just being exposed to PFAS, but also having a resulting disability or illness. He highlights the need to show a likely connection between the condition and PFAS exposure, discussing the C8 science panel's findings linking certain conditions to PFAS. Additionally, he provides insights on how to show exposure to PFAS, whether through firefighting foam use, military base contamination, or other means.
