It’s two years since Biden signed burn pits bill into law. But the fight isn’t over

More than one million claims have been approved by the VA , giving more than 880,000 veterans and survivors access to much-needed healthcare and disability benefits.

President Joe Biden says too many servicemembers have been “breathing in toxic fumes” from burn pits.

Biden is convinced that exposure to burn pits in Iraq caused the brain cancer that killed his son Beau Biden in 2015 .

John Feal , Rosie Torres and Jon Stewart lobbied Congress to pass the PACT Act for the 9/11 compensation fund.

Mr Feal says he saw Jon Stewart cry out of character twice as they fought for the bill’s passage.

More than 888,000 veterans and survivors have received benefits and healthcare through the bill, the White House says.

More than a million PACT Act claims have been approved and the VA has processed 1,327,228 claims since August 2022 .

4.17 million claims, including 1,655,810 claims specifically connected to the Act, have been made.
