Veterans have the option to file a VA claim as well if they have developed kidney cancer
In case you developed kidney cancer after a history of AFFF exposure as a military firefighter, you have the legal option of filing an AFFF compensation claim.
Veteran military firefighters can opt for VA disability claims as well, which provide tax-free monthly payments to individuals with qualifying disabilities. If their claim is approved by the VA, they will receive a disability rating, which ranges from 10% to 100%, along with other healthcare benefits. Depending on their eligibility, veterans may also receive free treatment. Filing an AFFF claim as a veteran does not affect the VA claim. These are not mutually exclusive.
