The PACT act is what allowed my sinusitis and rhinitis diagnoses to be considered service connected. Still at 0% rating for both despite constant symptoms though.

My father is already 40% disabled, but we resubmitted some conditions that are now considered “presumptive” under the PACT act that he was denied for years ago. Applied back in October, still waiting for a decision at the end of February. Wanted to see if anyone has gotten approval under the new act, and how long they waited. Most interested in Vietnam era vets that may have had exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides now considered toxic.

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
