Documentation requirements for proving service-related PFAS exposure
Veterans need documentation that demonstrates their presence at contaminated installations that used PFAS chemicals. Documentation should detail assignments, duty locations, and service length at contaminated bases. A medical record documenting thyroid disease diagnosis and treatment history is essential for establishing when symptoms began.
Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), which is used for emergencies and training on military bases, contains high levels of PFAS. Direct contact with these chemicals can be established through job descriptions, training records, and duty assignments during military service.
Document the timeline between exposure and diagnosis, the duration of exposure, and the specific locations where you served in order to build a strong case.
