PACT Act Webinar

The Office of Congressman Kim hosted a webinar to discuss the recently enacted Honoring Our PACT Act and how it impacts veterans’ benefits and healthcare. This webinar aims to help people understand what new conditions are now eligible for care and benefits, how to access this care, and our guests will be able to answer your questions live.

This webinar was hosted with Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center.

Iam a disabled veteran that served in the Vietnam Era, and I do believe that I should qualify for the pact act with my qualifications does not meet the requirements because I didn't serve in Vietnam, but I did serve in an area that did require me to work with and handle mail and was in direct contact with many items that exposed me to items that are known to cause skin disease and other diseases and problems. I do hope that the VA will get it right this time.

Please have congress to consider a veterans MOS, and their locations as well, my unit was the 47APU, and we previously during the Vietnam Era processed over 24000 Vietnamese from through our man made post office and handled thousands of packages and mail coming directly from Vietnam for over 90 days, or three months.

Why are congressional personnel trying to do away with TDIU and tax benefits? If the do that along with other things it will hurt vets.. Why does Congress not take a pay cut equal to the amount they are taking from vets? Please think about this, if you all take away the tdiu when a vet is 67 or years old, they for the most part will be homeless! Suppose a young vet got injured in the military fighting for your freedom, please realize that if you took his tdiu away when he turns full retirement age, it will hurt him severely, because all those years he never worked due to service connected disabilities, so he never payed into the SSA system, and he would not have any money to live on if you do that to vets. Is that your goal?The pact act is wonderful, but it doesn't help the taking away of our benefits.

It should be a requirement that before you can be a congressman, you must have served in the military 1st. To be a president, it should absolutely be a requirement !
