Camp Lejeune water contamination health issues
You may be eligible for disability compensation payments on a presumptive basis if you meet all of these requirements. These requirements apply to Veterans, Reservists, and National Guard members.
Both of these descriptions must be true: You served at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River, North Carolina, for at least 30 days total between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987, and You didn?t receive a dishonorable discharge when you separated from the military. And you must have a diagnosis of 1 or more of these presumptive conditions: Adult leukemia Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes Bladder cancer Kidney cancer Liver cancer Multiple myeloma Non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma Parkinson?s disease Breast cancer Esophageal cancer Female infertility Hepatic steatosis Leukemia Lung cancer Miscarriage Multiple myeloma Myelodysplastic syndromes Neurobehavioral effects Non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma Renal toxicity Scleroderma Evidence shows a link between these conditions and exposure to chemicals found in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River during this time. I highly recommend that you file a claim via the VA and once that is complete and a percentage has been assigned that you file a claim directly to the Navy JAG Corps Claims Management Portal https://clclaims.jag.navy.mil/ and avoid the ambulance chasers that will charge you 40% of your claim to do something you can do yourself. If you have any question please feel to contact me via PM. Ed Kaatz Service Officer Disabled American Veterans |
