| Veterans Exposed to Battlefield Burn Pits Press VA |

According to figures made public this month, the VA has granted burn pits compensation for just 2,097 burn pits victims in 11 years. The tax-free disability awards are calculated according to severity of the condition and can range from $100 monthly up to $2,000, money that sick veterans say can make a big difference in their lives. Many veterans of recent wars, among them Reservists and National Guard, have lung ailments and other afflictions that they say make it difficult to hold a job. Thereâ??s also the matter of compensation to survivors. As it stands, relatively few surviving spouses and dependent children of victims would qualify for death benefits awarded for other injuries and diseases.
