If you have been diagnosed with thyroid disease that can be linked to PFAS exposure, your legal options include filing for toxic exposure claims. If you're a veteran, you can also submit VA claims. While these are two different legal processes, both require linking your condition to military service.
Active service members diagnosed with PFAS-related thyroid disorders can obtain compensation by filing toxic exposure claims. Civilians living inside or within 1 mile of PFAS-contaminated army bases, such as family members of military personnel and nearby residents, may also file toxic exposure claims for their thyroid conditions.
Veterans, on the other hand, can apply for a monthly disability payment by submitting a VA claim. The VA will assign a disability rating, which will determine the amount of tax-free disability pay granted for each qualified veteran. Disability rating ranges between 10% and 100%.
Both claims require you to present evidence and documentation to support your case. These include records pertaining to military service and medical documents confirming your diagnosis.
When filing claims, the process can be confusing and exhausting. It takes time, effort, focus, and resources. If you're looking for professional help, then you have come to the right place.
