Can I file a claim under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act if I already receive VA disability compensation?

Yes. Veteran Marines whose health was compromised due to drinking toxic water at Camp Lejeune can receive compensation both from the government and from the VA. Receiving disability benefits does not exempt you from filing a claim under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.

Veterans can seek compensation both under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and from the VA

Unlike family members and civilians, veterans who spent time at Camp Lejeune while the drinking water was toxic and now struggle with a disease can obtain compensation from two sources. They are entitled to financial compensation from the government under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and to disability compensation from the VA. Receiving disability benefits does not exempt Marine veterans from seeking compensation under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, so they can obtain money from both sources, which can greatly help with their medical expenses and other costs.

If you are a veteran injured by drinking contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, it is best to have your claim filed with the assistance of a toxic exposure attorney, as the legal process is very complex and tedious, requiring specialized knowledge. Most attorneys who take up Camp Lejeune water contamination claims work on a contingency fee basis, and so do our attorneys, which means you will not have to pay anything unless they obtain compensation for you. We can help you recover compensation both from the government and from the VA.
