user: I require some information about ionizing radiation exposure.[NEWLINE]agent: Of course. Here you can find out if you can get disability compensation or benefits for illnesses including some cancers believed to be caused by contact with radiation during military service.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: That's what I was getting at. Am I able to get disability benefits from VA for this?[NEWLINE]agent: Do you have an illness that's on our list of illnesses believed to be caused by radiation or that doctors say may be caused by radiation?[NEWLINE]user: No, I don't.[NEWLINE]agent: Unfortunately, that means you aren't able to get disability benefits.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: Hold your horses, how do I get these benefits then?[NEWLINE]agent: To receive benefits, you'll need to file a claim for disability compensation and provide several evidence supporting documents.[NEWLINE]user: I know, I've read about the records you need from me. But if I submit those, if I file my claim, what will happen next?[NEWLINE]agent: Then we'll ask the military branch that you served with or the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to give us a range of how much radiation they think you may have come into contact with. We'll use the highest level of the range they report to decide on your benefits.[NEWLINE][BOUNDARY][NEWLINE]user: What other scenarios could lead to a disability compensation?
