The VA acknowledges the incinerator exposure at NAF Atsugi, though it is handled case by case rather than as a blanket presumption.
Sources: VA.gov exposure
NAF Atsugi is NOT a blanket VA presumptive location. Claims are evaluated individually, so you will need to document the exposure and a nexus. A free VSO can help.
Source: VA.gov. Presumptive eligibility changes as new laws take effect and depends on your specific service; confirm current eligibility with the Exposure Checker or a free VSO.
