COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Columbia VA Regional Office and other offices across the Department of Veterans' Affairs are rapidly hiring qualified team members in multiple locations nation-wide within Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA).
The Department of Veterans Affairs has added three presumptive conditions related to toxic exposures during recent wars which can cause chronic respiratory conditions to include asthma, rhinitis, and sinusitis. Military Service members may have been exposed to a variety of airborne hazards or contaminants resulting in one or more of these presumptive conditions and potentially other related medical conditions while on active duty in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Syria, and Uzbekistan during the Persian Gulf War, from September 19, 2001, to present, or in the Southwest Asia theater of operations from August 2, 1990, to present.
To reduce the backlog of existing claims and address the surge of new claims stemming from toxic exposures, the Department of Veterans Affairs is actively recruiting to hire qualified team members in multiple locations nation-wide. This is an exciting opportunity to work at VA and make a difference in the lives of Veterans and their families.
