Call to Arms: Help Shape the VA's New Evaluation for Constrictive Bronchiolitis (CB)

For over two years, Burn Pits 360 has fought tirelessly to get the VA to recognize Constrictive Bronchiolitis (CB) and adopt a specific diagnostic code for this debilitating condition. This is a major victory for Post 9/11 Veterans exposed to toxic burn pits, but we need your help to ensure the VA’s proposed rule properly reflects the needs of Veterans.

The VA has opened a 30-day comment period where Veterans, physicians, and advocates can submit feedback on the new CB evaluation criteria. While the rule proposes to add new criteria like maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) and metabolic equivalents, we believe it's critical to include confirmed biopsy results as a primary diagnostic criterion.

Your voice matters! We encourage all Veterans, healthcare professionals, and supporters to submit comments to ensure the final rule fully supports those suffering from CB. This is your chance to influence the policies that will determine disability ratings and access to care for countless Veterans.

Together, we can ensure that Veterans with Constrictive Bronchiolitis receive the recognition, care, and benefits they deserve. Let's continue the fight!
