VA Benefits for Camp Lejeune Family Members?
If you ever hear someone tell you they know everything about the VA, you can safely grab your hat and head for the door. The VA is the second largest federal agency, soon to surpass the size of the DoD. There are literally hundreds of benefit programs available. Programs range from disability compensation, education benefits, to home loans. Are they all limited to Veterans? What about Camp Lejeune family members? One thing I love about this job is the number of niche areas within an already niche area of law. The Camp Lejeune Family Member Program is one of those. One I had no idea about.

I should have known the writing was on the wall the second the hearing coordinator uttered “the Judge today is Judge Cryan”. Its just about unheard of to say a Board judge is anti-Veteran. Afterall, the whole point of working for the VA is about helping Veterans. Most judges go above and beyond to help our Veterans, especially ones like “Brad”. Brad never stepped foot in Vietnam, instead he was in nearby Thailand. He got the same douse of Agent Orange, though, as if he had been in Vietnam. As a result, Brad is ate up with leukemia—severely disabled is an understatement. However, Judge Cryan has her doubts.
