What are the eligibility requirements for a Camp Lejeune toxic water claim?

Unfortunately, not everyone who develops a disease as a consequence of having drunk toxic water at Camp Lejeune during the last century is eligible to file a claim.

There are a series of requirements they have to meet in order to become entitled to financial compensation.

These eligibility criteria are different for veterans and family members, as they have to provide different documents to their attorney once they know they qualify to file a claim.

The following are the eligibility criteria for filing a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim as a veteran:

• you must have spent at least 30 consecutive days at the military base between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987
• you must have drunk toxic water at Camp Lejeune
• you must have one of the diagnoses associated with drinking contaminated water at the military base
• you must have been discharged from the military other than dishonorably
• you must retrieve your medical records, which must clearly explain the connection between your illness and exposure to contaminated water
• you must retrieve your military records as proof of having served at Camp Lejeune

The following are the eligibility criteria for filing a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim as a family member:

• you must have spent at least 30 consecutive days at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987
• you must have drunk contaminated water at the military base
• you must have one of the diseases linked to drinking toxic water at Camp Lejeune
• you must provide evidence of having lived at the military base, such as utility bills, base housing records, military orders, or tax forms
• you must retrieve your medical records, which must clearly explain the association between your diagnosis and toxic water exposure
• your physician must complete the Camp Lejeune Family Member Program Treating Physician Report
