If you lived or worked at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and were later diagnosed with cancer or another qualifying illness, you may be entitled to compensation under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
From 1953 to 1987, drinking water at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was contaminated with industrial solvents and other toxic chemicals. Studies have linked this contamination to elevated rates of cancer and other serious illnesses among Marines, sailors, civilian workers, and their families who lived or worked on base. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act, signed into law in 2022, allows those affected to file a claim for compensation, regardless of any prior VA disability decision.
You may have a claim if you lived, worked, or were stationed at Camp Lejeune for at least 30 days between August 1953 and December 1987 (including in utero exposure) and were later diagnosed with a condition such as:
No. Family members/dependents who lived on base and civilian workers may also be eligible.
No. Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims are a separate legal process from VA disability claims.
Takes about 2 minutes. No cost, no obligation.
