Veterans have the option to file a VA claim as well if they have developed kidney cancer
In case you developed kidney cancer while stationed on a military base contaminated with PFAS you have the legal option of filing a compensation claim if you are an active military member, a veteran, a family member of one, or a nearby resident.
Veterans can opt for VA disability claims well, which provide tax-free monthly payments to individuals with qualifying disabilities. If their claim is approved by VA, they will receive a disability rating, which ranges from 10% to 100%, along with other benefits. Depending on their eligibility, veterans may also receive free treatment. Filing a compensation claim as a veteran does not affect the VA claim. These are not mutually exclusive.
