Today, people who served at Camp Lejeune are suffering from illnesses caused by the water contamination. cancers, leukemia, infertility, birth defects, and other serious health conditions have been linked to the contaminated water.
If you served at Camp Lejeune and have been diagnosed with one of these conditions, you may be eligible for disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). You may also be eligible for healthcare benefits and compensation from the Department of Defense (DoD).
The water contamination at Camp Lejeune happened over 30 years ago, but it’s only recently that the full extent of the problem has come to light. In the last few years, scientific studies have confirmed that the contaminated water was responsible for a host of serious health problems.
But despite the clear evidence, the VA and the DoD have been slow to act. They’ve denied benefits to veterans and their families, and they’ve resisted calls for further investigation.
