Can I get compensation if I develop ulcerative colitis after being exposed to PFAS?

Yes, there are several compensation options available to those diagnosed with ulcerative colitis following PFAS exposure, including compensation claims, VA benefits, and settlement negotiations.

Available financial recovery options for PFAS-induced ulcerative colitis

Several legal avenues are available to individuals diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after exposure to PFAS through contaminated water sources, firefighting foam, or military service. A PFAS claim is a primary option for individuals exposed to PFAS on contaminated military bases.

VA disability benefits can be obtained by veterans suffering from ulcerative colitis after exposure to PFAS, including monthly compensation payments and healthcare coverage. To qualify for these benefits, they must prove that their condition was caused by exposure to PFAS while serving in the military or staying at contaminated bases.

Both compensation methods are equally valid. Veterans can file both a PFAS claim and a VA claim simultaneously, maximizing their potential recovery. To file a claim, you need to provide medical records showing your ulcerative colitis diagnosis, medical evidence that PFAS exposure caused your ulcerative colitis, as well as service records that prove PFAS exposure.
