The deadline to receive back pay for the PACT act for burn pit toxic exposure is coming up. Do you really have to already have cancer in order to receive those benefits?

If they are saying that veterans have until August 9th to file to be eligible to receive back pay then I would assume there is a rating. What that is, I'm not sure. But looking at the list of illnesses you basically have to have cancer. I'm not sure and just wanted to see what folks that have applied have to say.

I thought there wasn’t any disability rating for pact act? Or do you have to have certain diagnosed issues? Not up to speed on disability pay for that but have a signed document from our flight surgeon saying we were exposed

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

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?
