Veterans exposed to 'burn pits' struggle to get benefits approved by the VA
Tens of thousands of U.S. Veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq are sick — many say due to the military's trash "burn pits." Veterans have had to fight to get their illnesses recognized as linked to their service and smoke exposure — a critical step to qualify for medical and disability benefits. Congress is considering legislation to change all that. John Yang and Dan Sagalyn report.
