The VA is expanding benefits in 2026 under the PACT Act, covering respiratory issues and over 11 cancer types linked to burn pit toxic exposure, with 739,000 veterans enrolled since 2022 and 100,000 new sign-ups in early 2026. Presumptive conditions eliminate the need to prove service connection for qualifying locations and periods.
