How do I prove my kidney cancer is related to service-connected PFAS exposure?

Kidney cancer is one of the presumptive diseases added by the PACT Act. This means that if you have sufficient evidence that your condition is linked to PFAS exposure during your military service, you are eligible for financial compensation. Some documents that would help prove your case include medical records that confirm your diagnosis and military records that indicate where you were stationed.

Undergo a toxic exposure screening to identify what toxins you have been exposed to

If you are a veteran with kidney cancer, you can undergo a toxic exposure screening at the VA to identify the possible toxins you were exposed to. First, you need to be enrolled in VA healthcare, but if you are not enrolled yet, you only need to meet the eligibility requirements to enroll and receive the screening. 

The toxic exposure screening will only take 5 to 10 minutes, and you will be asked questions about your service and the hazardous chemicals you might have encountered an the base you were assigned to, specifically PFAS. This screening can help solidify the evidence that your kidney cancer is linked to your military service, and you can take the test even if you are already diagnosed with the disease.
