Learn MoreOur Veterans Outreach team has assisted thousands of veterans with asbestos-related claims. We work with veterans and VSOs to develop medical and asbestos exposure related evidence to support VA claims. We also help veterans connect to additional resources outside of the VA that they may be eligible for.
Email or call us to discuss the veteran you are working with. We will share resources that will ensure that each veteran you help submits the proper medical and exposure evidence to support their service-connected disability claim. You can also provide our information directly to the veteran so we can work with them along with your office.
Our VA-accredited Claims Agents understand an exposure summary is the key factor in substantiating asbestos-related VA claims. We will work with you to provide a detailed summary, including medical evidence and documentation, about how the veteran was exposed to asbestos throughout their lifetime.
Veterans may be entitled to civilian resources including medical specialists, financial assistance and emotional support outside of the VA. This is especially important if the majority of the veteran's exposure to asbestos occurred outside of their service.
Program Director
Decorated U.S. Army Capt. Aaron Munz left active duty in 2006 after serving nine years in combat and strategic training. As an officer in the Army, he had to navigate the VA disability system for his own service-related injury. Now as a VA-accredited Claims Agent, Munz helps fellow veterans navigate the complicated VA claims process, providing the knowledge and resources necessary to file a successful claim.
VA-Accredited Claims Agent
Danielle DiPietro is a VA-Accredited Claims Agent who is dedicated to providing veterans and their families with the financial peace of mind they deserve. In addition to having a deep knowledge of the VA claims process, DiPietro has a personal connection to veterans. Both grandfathers served in the U.S. Army, and her family’s history with cancer inspired her to pursue a career in patient advocacy.
Asbestos was used extensively in all branches of the U.S. armed forces between 1935 and 1975 and beyond. The mineral was highly regarded for its durability and fireproofing capabilities, making it a valuable resource for use in all modes of military transportation.
Unfortunately, asbestos is also highly toxic, and by the time the military began regulating its use in the late 1970s, the damage had been done. Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases take decades to develop after initial exposure.
Veterans need to understand their exposure, the potential risk to their health, how to get proper medical diagnostic testing and how to get help if they are diagnosed.
“I just wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in helping obtain the necessary documents for my father Gerald Nichols to apply for VA benefits. You have been extremely helpful, not to mention very kind throughout this process. God Bless.”

Veterans diagnosed with a disease or disability related to asbestos exposure during military service. Veterans who did not serve full-time or were dishonorably discharged are not eligible.
Veterans must be able to provide an exposure summary linking their asbestos-related illness to exposure during military service. This may include your military occupation or where you were stationed.
A nexus letter is a document prepared for a claimant by a medical professional that explicitly connects an in-service event to the current medical condition for which a claimant is seeking compensation.
Do not assume the VA knows how the veteran was exposed to asbestos. A detailed exposure summary must show how the veteran was exposed during their military duties. We can assist you with writing one.
