Camp Lejeune Water

From 1957 to 1987 it has been estimated that up to 500,000 soldiers and their family members regularly drank and bathed in the toxic water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Tragically, the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to serve our country are today experiencing devastating and life-threatening health issues due to the contaminated water supply that contained large quantities of dangerous volatile organic compounds such as benzene and trichloroethylene.

Marine Corps veterans and their families who served or lived at Camp Lejeune between the 1950s and 1980s may be eligible for VA disability and healthcare benefits if they later on developed health issues that can be linked to the contaminated drinking water. Some of the most common linked medical conditions include adult leukemia, aplastic anemia, multiple myeloma, liver cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. If you are experiencing a different medical condition that you believe may be linked, you can still qualify to receive compensation as long as the appropriate evidence is provided to the VA.
