CCK Live: Can Veterans Qualify for PFAS Exposure Compensation and VA Benefits?
In this episode, we discuss the PFAS lawsuit and your entitlement to VA benefits. PFAS chemicals were used widely in various industries and have contaminated water, food, and air across the U.S. If you believe you have been exposed to PFAS and have been diagnosed with certain cancers after the year 2000, then you may qualify for compensation. What's key here, is that there will be no offset between your VA benefits and any settlement or award made under the PFAS water contamination lawsuit—meaning you can collect both forms of compensation at once, and they will not impact each other.
