Will filing a claim under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act put my VA benefits at risk?

Direct Answer: No.

If you are already receiving VA benefits or other compensation for injuries caused by the water at Camp Lejeune, the Act still gives you the right to sue—and you will not lose your benefits even if you bring an action under the Act.

The VA has plainly stated in its official guidance that “if you are awarded relief from a CLJA lawsuit, your VA benefits will not be reduced, and your eligibility for other VA benefits will not be affected.” So you do not need to worry about your VA benefits being reduced or stopped.
