Can VA disability compensation for male breast cancer stop me from filing a PFAS exposure claim as well?

You can still file for a PFAS claim even if you are receiving VA disability compensation for male breast cancer. We encourage you to discuss your case with an experienced attorney to explore all claims available to you.

You can file a PFAS exposure claim after filing for VA disability compensation

You can definitely file a PFAS exposure claim for male breast cancer even if you have received disability compensation from the Veterans Affairs (VA). For PFAS exposure claims, your case will depend on your documentation of exposure (military records) and proof of MBC diagnosis (medical documents), so VA disability benefits will not affect your claim.

Similarly, your VA disability claim for male breast cancer will not be affected by your PFAS exposure claims for MBC. This is because your monthly compensation from the VA is determined by your disability rating, which depends on your medical records and the results of your VA Claim Exam.
