georgiapapa Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Dinnard, Disability compensation for exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is possible if the claimant can prove a connection between their disease and the contaminated water. There have been a few cases where compensation was awarded. A successful claim would probably require a strong IMO supported by reasonable medical rationale.

jetdoc3037 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Have read about the water prob at Lejune for a while now....I have read some reports stating if you were stationed at New River you are included, but I can't be sure if this is accurate.I was with HMM264, TME unit, for 7 months in 1979. Does anyone know about New River being included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holllie Greene Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Hi, when I first heard about this situation several years ago I was shocked. I was born there, my mom was pregnant with me and when I called her up and asked more probing questions like did she cook with, drink, wash clothes in, bathe herself and me in the poisin she said yes. My dad was an officer and he was exposed as well. Our housing was in the Tarawa Terrace area. My parents are well, I have MS but that is not one of the diseases on the list.After my shock wore off I called the registry and added my name and my mom's. My parents are divorced and my dad is up on the situation.When will all of this stop?Holly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdnkjeeper Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Having worked for an environmental company, I know that when they say it is cleaned up it usually is just to more acceptable levels or it is just cleaned up at the wells that they are testing and when they are testing. I was there in the mid 90s and wonder if it was really cleaned up...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
