Camp Lejeune EligibilityÂ
On January 13th, 2017, the VA announced that service connection for certain diseases related to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune will be presumed to be service-connected. Â This presumption will eliminate the requirement for veterans to prove that these conditions were caused by exposure. Veterans, Reservists, and National Guard members who were stationed in Camp Lejeune from August 1st, 1953 to December 31st, 1987 may be eligible for compensation.
Currently, the Following Diseases Will be Considered:
•   Adult leukemia
•   Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
•   Bladder Cancer
•   Kidney Cancer
•   Liver Cancer
•   Multiple myeloma
•   Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
•   Parkinson’s disease
Additional conditionsÂ
There are also additional medical conditions that have been linked to exposure to the chemicals present at Camp Lejeune that the VA decided to not create a presumption of service connection but that still may be entitled to service connection including:
- Esophageal cancer
- Lung cancer
- Breast cancer
- Renal toxicity
- Hepatic steatosis
- Female infertility
- Miscarriage
- Scleroderma
- Neurobehavioral effects
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Additionally, some preexisting conditions can be aggravated by chemical exposure through water contamination which may be entitled to service connection.
