Navy Blue Water Veterans Decisions to begin January 1, 2020

TREA members -- are you a Navy Blue Water Veteran?  TREA is providing a detailed factsheet and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) to keep you informed as VA implements P.L. 116-23, beginning January 1, 2020. These links provide information on conditions related to herbicide exposure, how to file a claim and what information should be included in the claim.

Remember: You may be eligible for benefits under the new law if you previously had a claim denied or if you are a surviving spouse or child of a veteran who has died before their claim was decided.

TREA is collecting names of claimants and working with VA to prioritize BWN claims. TREA wants to hear your comments and feedback. Please email legislativeinfo@trea.org with your questions.  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
