I fought tooth and nail to pass the #PACTAct and secure these benefits. Now my office and I are here to help make the process of submitting your claim and getting the health care you earned as smooth as possible.

Her brother Tim was exposed to toxic burn pits in Afghanistan, and now he has significant health issues. The PACT Act ensures he'll get the care he needs. Link to image My final stop today was at @AlbanyVAMC's Glens Falls clinic. Here, veterans can get care for illnesses caused by toxic exposure, including 24 illnesses newly covered thanks to the PACT Act.
