According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), veterans and family members who lived or served at Camp Lejeune for 30 cumulative days between August 1953 through December 1987 may qualify for disability benefits. You cannot have been dishonorably discharged from the military if you wish to apply for disability benefits.

What Is the Relationship Between Camp Lejeune Toxic Water and Bladder Cancer?
VA reports that two on-base water wells at Camp Lejeune contained hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals, including benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), and vinyl chloride. Exposure to certain toxic chemicals is linked to bladder cancer.
If you have bladder cancer caused by Camp Lejeune toxic water or another condition connected to exposure to contaminants in the on-base water supply, you deserve compensation. We can help you secure the financial resources you need to pay for your medical treatments and provide for your family.
