Were you, or your veteran, on Camp LeJeune/MCAS New River between Aug 1953 - Dec 1987? Do you/they/family members suffer(ed) from the following conditions? If you/they/or the family member is/has dealt with other cancers or major health conditions, such as Anemia,... please file a claim. Expect VA to deny but this way VA sees the numbers.
ALWAYS work with an Accredited VSO Rep near you, they are veterans trained in the VA regulations regarding claims and evidence needed. Link is below the list. VSO Rep's are paid by their local government, tribe, or organizations, so do not charge for services.
The following is copied directly from the VA website:
