The VA has long given veterans who served in Vietnam disability compensation for illness connected to Agent Orange. But those exposed at U.S. bases are still waiting for the same benefits.

Veterans like Steven Price were left out of a law that made it easier to get care and benefits from the VA. He says his leukemia diagnosis can be traced toxin exposure while deployed in Panama.

The VA is making more veterans with toxic exposure eligible for health care now instead of phasing in coverage. About 200 veterans signed up at a recent Orlando event.

The VA sent letters to 9,076 veterans and notified the next of kin of 565 others who are deceased, and 209 veterans are being offered no-cost credit monitoring for a year.

About a quarter of all suicides occur among personnel caught up in legal or administrative battles, sometimes for minor infractions. It was more than double the risk of others with known financial stress.

Experts Dr. Natalia Rost and David Evans emphasize the importance of brain health beyond memory lapses. Then the executive director of Fire Watch shares how the nonprofit is working end veterans' suicides.

A long-term study hopes to shed light on an array of vague symptoms that can affect veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

About a quarter million troops and veterans signed on as plaintiffs in litigation claiming the Combat Arms earplugs manufactured by a 3M subsidiary damaged their hearing.

The facility received chillers over the weekend to help cool down inpatient units. Patients in long- and short-term care have been assigned to other rooms. Non-urgent procedures were postponed.

Veterans and their survivors now have until 11:59 p.m. Monday to apply for those benefits backdated to include the past year since President Joe Biden signed the PACT Act into law.
