Know your eligibility in filing an AFFF claim for kidney cancer
There is no deadline for filing a claim for financial compensation. Therefore, former military firefighters can file a claim anytime as long as they develop a disease related to their service. If your kidney cancer appeared at least one year after discharge, you need to meet these requirements to be eligible for compensation:
- Your condition is at least 10% disabling and appeared a year after discharge
- You did not receive a dishonorable discharge
If your cancer appeared years later, you could still file an AFFF claim as long as you served on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training. If you get a disability rating, you may also receive different VA benefits like free check-ups, appointments with specialists, insurance, travel pay, and more.
