### Radiogenic Diseases Postservice

Radiogenic diseases can be caused by exposure to radiation. If you participated in an activity while on active duty that has a radiation risk, you may have developed one of these [associated diseases](associated-diseases).

### Are you eligible for disability benefits?

Yes, if:

- You were interned as a prisoner of war in Japan
- You participated in the postwar occupation of Hiroshima or Nagasaki
- You participated in atmospheric nuclear weapons testing
- You participated in underground nuclear weapons testing at Amchitka Island, Alaska
- You were assigned to a gaseous diffusion plant at one of the following:
	-	Paducah, Kentucky
	-	Portsmouth, Ohio, or
	-	Area K-25 at Oak Ridge, Tennessee

- Your performance of tasks was similar to those that qualify a Department of Energy (DOE) employee as a member of the Special Exposure Cohort under 42 U.S.C. 7384L(14).
