Did you work overseas as a civilian contractor? You may have faced many of the same hazards<\/a> as service members. But when you returned home, you did not get the benefit of VA care and disability benefits. Instead, if you sustained an injury or were diagnosed with a condition related to your work, you have to pursue workers\u2019 comp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defense Base Act is an extension of the Longshore and Harbor Workers\u2019 Compensation Act (LHWCA)<\/a>.
