toxic water and their family members and that's the
representing veterans in Camp Lejeune disability claims
receive the compensation that they deserve. Levin Papantonio
the potential of an offset so I think what everyone wants to
against the VA and we're excited to be partnering with
diminished earning capacity cases. So, it's a much broader
litigation and CCK has extensive expertise with
the premier mass tort firm, Levin Papantonio and Raffetty
suffering lost earning wages things of that nature I know a
can veterans double dip get VA benefits and damages under this
Act enables those exposed and their family members to seek
damages are awarded under this PACAT there will be an offset
might be even more because there will be you know pain and
pain and suffering, diminished enjoyment of life, and also
it's for the same condition. So for example if a veteran is
have no effect on any pending VA disability claim aside from
compensation for Camp Lejeune service connected conditions at
damages from the federal government which is separate
include such things as the cost of medical care, lost wages,
service connected for bladder cancer residuals and they're
secure VA benefits because VA benefits only covers veterans
federal government. This is different from the process to
Yes, they can. The short answer is yes. As mentioned, the PACT
who served. It does not cover the family members. Um while VA
important piece, family members to seek damages from the
exposure to the toxic water compensation will also be
subject to offsets for federal benefits. The individual
probably have benefits from under VA for their various
important distinction here. Essentially, what happens is
for period of at least 30 days between August 1st, 1953 and
District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina to
the PAC Act do Robert how does it make this compensation
the passage of the PAC Act or 180 days after the claim has
listed and we will have this up on our website for those that
exposed to herbicides and more and within the PAC act is the
receives for the claim conditions such as VA or
action for any individual including veterans who resided
meets this criteria may bring a lawsuit in the United States
leukemia, liver cancer, lung cancer, multiple myeloma,
syndromes, nerve damage, neuro behavioral effects, Parkinson's
sclerodoma. So, a you are a family member were stationed at
of these compensation maybe available to you so what does
for toxic exposed veterans including those who've been
at least 30 days and developed one of the conditions we just
you or a family member were stationed at or lived at camp

TCE, tetrachlorethylene, perky chlorethylene, and vinyl

liver cancer, female infertility, immune disorders,
disease, renal toxicity, toxicity disease, and
acute myeloid leukemia, bladder cancer, brain cancer, breast
esophageal cancer, Hodgkins lymphoma, kidney cancer,
Camp Legend. So, here are some of the conditions that have
cancer, central nervous system cancer, cervical cancer,
the conditions that are linked to exposure to toxic water at
chloride, and All of these chemicals are carcinogenic
which means they can cause cancer. So, what are some of
usually when congress is pass law for for benefits. It's just
drinking water sources at Camp Legend had some of the
the chemicals that were present in the water sources at Camp
