What are the legal options available for thyroid conditions related to military service?

Military personnel and veterans with thyroid disorders, including cancer linked to their service, have several legal options, including VA disability benefits and financial compensation for toxic exposure.

Available legal options for cases of military thyroid conditions

Active and veteran service members affected by thyroid conditions, including thyroid cancer, have two primary legal options. A VA disability claim provides tax-free monthly payments with disability ratings ranging from 10% to 100%. Your thyroid disorder must be linked to military service or exposure through medical evidence.

A civil compensation claim is another possibility, especially if you have thyroid disease linked to PFAS contamination on a military base.

Documentation is required for both claims in order to establish your case. Records of military service, thyroid diagnosis, and treatment are required.
