CHILDREN OF ATOMIC VETSLinks and Reposts from the Facebook Page Group
Some of us are working to get all the children covered for health issues caused by our own and our parent's military exposure. We are not separate groups. The origins of radiological contamination, where the contaminated soil comes from, brings in other children who have been affected. - Adrienne Shane-Esposito @ Children of Atomic Vets Facebook Group |

Filing for RECA Claim: Radiation Exposure Compensation ActThe Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases for veterans who participated in radiation-risk activities during active service or while members of reserve components during active duty for training or inactive duty training. This amendment adds cancers of the bone, brain, colon, lung, and ovary to the list of diseases which may be presumptively service connected and amends the definition of the term “radiation-risk activity.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its adjudication regulations concerning presumptive service connection for certain diseases for veterans who participated in radiation-risk activities during active service or while members of reserve components during active duty for training or inactive duty training. This amendment adds cancers of the bone, brain, colon, lung, and ovary to the list of diseases which may be presumptively service connected and amends the definition of the term “radiation-risk activity.” The intended effect of this amendment is to ensure that veterans who may have been exposed to radiation during military service do not have a higher burden of proof than civilians exposed to ionizing radiation who may be entitled to compensation for these cancers under comparable Federal statutes.
