Frequently Asked Questions
After years of legal restrictions preventing sufferers from making claims, President Biden passed the Camp LeJeune Justice Act. This act allows military personnel and their family members to make a claim against the US government. There are no restrictions on the location of the person making the claim. British service personnel and their families can therefore make a claim against the US government.
