If have been diagnosed with PFAS ulcerative colitis, these are some of the legal options you have:
- File a PFAS exposure claim for service-connected ulcerative colitis. You are eligible for PFAS exposure claims for UC if you have served at a contaminated military base for at least a year. To file a claim, you need your military records that show your service history and medical documents showing your ulcerative colitis diagnosis.
- File a VA claim for ulcerative colitis (for military veterans). You have the option to claim a tax-free monthly compensation for conditions related to your service. PFAS-related conditions are not presumptive (which means your condition is not automatically covered by compensation), but you can still establish a connection between your UC diagnosis and your PFAS exposure at the military base. Atraxia Law can connect you with an experienced attorney to help you through this process. Your monthly compensation for ulcerative colitis will depend on the disability rating given by the VA board, which is based on the severity of your symptoms.
- File a PFAS exposure claim for ulcerative colitis caused by living near a military base. Family members of veterans and other civilian residents can file a PFAS exposure claim for ulcerative colitis if they lived within one mile of a contaminated military base for at least a year. The documents we need to review your case are medical records (showing UC diagnosis), proof of residence, and proof of relationship if you are a veteran’s family member.
