🚨 The VA Approves These 300+ Conditions Automatically — Most Veterans Never File

For over 300 conditions, the VA doesn't get to ask you for proof — the law already assumes the connection. They're called presumptive conditions, and most veterans never file because nobody told them the hardest part of their claim was already done. And one category has a clock: as the rule stands today, the Gulf War illness presumptives run out December 31, 2026. THE FIVE PRESUMPTIVE DOORS 1) THE PACT ACT — 20+ burn-pit presumptives; approvals jumped ~25% → ~78%. Denied before? File again. 2) AGENT ORANGE — hypertension added; Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Guam, Johnston Atoll now count. 3) GULF WAR ILLNESS — chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, functional GI, undiagnosed illness… presumptive if manifested by 12/31/2026. File before the date. 4) CAMP LEJEUNE — 30+ days, Aug 1953–Dec 1987 (incl. family in base housing): 8 presumptives. 5) THE 1-YEAR CHRONIC RULE — chronic disease within 1 year of separation at 10%+ = presumed. PLUS: the FREE 5-minute toxic-exposure screening that documents your exposures in your record — ask at any VA appointment. WHAT YOU STILL PROVE A current named diagnosis + qualifying service. The presumption opens the door; severity sets the %. Normal Form 21-526EZ — no special form. Old denials reopen via supplemental claim because the rules changed.
