Fingers crossed for you, on the medical and legal fronts.
The polyps grow so fast in my intestines now, I am currently on an ANNUAL colonoscopy treadmill. Well, except when the hospitals hibernate for things like covid.

Was any of you guys on that post aware that there might be problems with the water? or were you guys all blindsided at some point?Yup. Liver, kidneys, colon. No fun. I had almost 2 1/2 years of that chemical stew of known carcinogens. The government has been hiding behind the NC statute of repose to prevent anyone for suing in court, but they just waived that for a two year window, which is why you are seeing the lawyers come out of the woodwork.
Its the start of a new Era in open daytime slot advertising.
My youth in the 2000s was spent with many a lazy summer day passing by to the constant drone of "IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MESOTHELIOMA YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO FINANCIAL COMPENSATION!!!!!"
I can't imagine how you can say the VA has been a joke.I'm currently considering which law firm to go with. The VA has been a joke.

The first commercial I saw about this was some lawyer saying "When I served at Camp Leh-Zherne." I'm a former Marine, and every Marine I've ever known pronounced it Luh-June. I told my wife, this guy's full of it. He's probably never been anywhere near the place.

Contact DAV.
If you have a "presumptive" illness the VA automatically gives you disability if you were at CL for 30 days or more.
They announced that 3 or 4 years ago and I posted it on NES years ago.
Your first disability check your retro from when you applied.
100% is over $36,000 per year.
WTF?All well and good, except for one thing, my application has been lost by the VA...........................twice now.
WTF?
Seriously.
Time to call your congressman. Descending on military/VA is one of the few things they do that anyone pays any attention to.
I’m certain that now it can be done online.I'm trying to work through the veteran's office here in Taunton. I had an appointment for August 15th (2 weeks ago), but the veteran's agent had emergency surgery the day before, according to the secretary, and would contact me within a week or so. I guess I'm in the "or so" phase because I have heard nothing since. For me, that's about par for the course and defines this entire chapter of my life.
I am going to a big clam bake on September 10th with guys that served with reserve units at NAS South Weymouth "back in the day". I'm going to try to network a bit to see if any of them are in the same boat.
I'm familiar with Gen. Lejeune. My point was simply that I've never met a Marine in my life, not one, who ever used the French pronunciation when referring to the base. My guess is that the number, such as yourself, who do, is probably no more than 1 in a thousand, if even that, and certainly not some ambulance chaser on the radio.And that's where you would be wrong. Yes, most Marines pronounce it as "La-June". Even I used to pronounce it that way until I happened upon earlier literature about him that indicates he pronounced his name as "La-Jern". Ever since, and out of respect for one of the Corps' greats, I pronounce it as he did.
Read this opening sentence from this official Marine Corps article on LTG Lejeune.

I'd be interested in participating in a Camp Lejeune Advertisement class action suit...

The VA is worse than a joke. Its an insult.I can't imagine how you can say the VA has been a joke.
If you were at CL and have one of the presumptive illnesses - you automatically get disability. You don’t even have to prove it.The VA is worse than a joke. Its an insult.
Move to Albuquerque. I think we have the best VA Hospital in the country.I'm currently considering which law firm to go with. The VA has been a joke.
n1oty is out of his tree if he thinks he's getting a dime from the lawsuit.Move to Albuquerque. I think we have the best VA Hospital in the country.
Also, sign up on Myhealth.VA.gov, if you aren't already.

It'll take years anyway.
If he filed electronically years ago - he would have been approved in 6 months retro to date of filing and would have been riding the VA 100% service connected gravy train for the past 4 years.

That is a huge relief!I am meeting with a local DAV rep next week. Everyone is recommending going the VA route and not the lawsuit route, so I'm going to try the VA route first. Fingers crossed.
Since most politicians are lawyers, I think it's a dead heat.Lawyers are second only to politicians as the lowest form of life on planet Earth

It's more of an indicator that you're watching too much television. I have people in my family that actually believe that fentanyl is going to arrive in kids halloween candy at this point.... that's how f***** up TV is it rots people's brains.Camp lejeune is getting ridiculous it's just too many commercials I'm getting so sick of seeing them too many

After this we'll be hearing about Pearl Harbor fuel tank contamination claims..... for 2 years...You are seeing so many commercials because the end result will be a LOT of lawyers getting rich over the next two years. They are trawling for more clients. The Camp Lejeune water situation was so screwed up for so long, that it is estimated as many as 1 million people may have standing to sue. The courts had shut down any legal remedies for years due to the North Carolina 10 year statute of repose. The Obama administration f***ed us over pretty hard on that score. Congress recently passed a law opening a two year window where that statute of repose is being waived temporarily.
None of this would be happening if the VA did it's job or the Obama DOJ screwed over veterans, yet here we are.
