Congress recently passed a bill called the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. This bill allows certain individuals to sue and recover damages for harm from exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Did you serve at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River for at least 30 days from August 1953 through December 1987? Have you been diagnosed with any of the following conditions?
- Adult leukemia
- Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
- Bladder cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Liver cancer
- Multiple myeloma
- Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
- Parkinson’s disease
If you answered yes to both, you may be eligible for disability benefits. If you lived and worked at Camp Lejeune during this time, you may have had contact with contaminants in the drinking water there. Scientific and medical evidence has shown an association between exposure to these contaminants during military service and development of certain diseases later on.
