Please share this through your social media networks. Any veteran, dependent Marine or other branches that served at Lejeune during these years needs to know that after 30 years the VA is recognizing the contaminations and they can receive benefits and reimbursement for out of pocket expenses incurred over the years for the listed medical problems. Get the word out to your veteran networks and social media.

VETERANS' CORNER: Benefits available for vets who served at Camp Lejeune - April 05, 2015

From the 1950s through the 1980s, people living or working at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, were potentially exposed to drinking water contaminated with industrial solvents, benzene and other chemicals.

Thanks, CSM, for posting this. In general, to determine eligibility for presumptives, review the Agent Orange presumptives. Those are based on the science of dioxin exposure, which is also the basis of the Camp L contamination (as well as Ft McLellan and other dirty bases)...
