Did anyone get a letter from the VA about toxic exposure? Do they want you to fill out form 10–10 EZR?

Good evening SFC Jo Ann Klawitter. Excellent post. Thank you for sharing this. I think that I may have filled out that form. But, I did go in for a check up in 2022 because I was exposed to a burn pit while I was in Afghanistan. I think its worth filling out if you were ever exposed to a burn pit. You may or not get rated if you have a condition.

SFC Jo Ann Klawitter I have not (yet) received a letter from the VA regarding this form.

An excerpt from the VA website:
Use VA Form 10-10EZR if you already receive VA health care benefits, and you need to update your personal, insurance, financial, or military service history information.
