CLJA admin claims closed August 10, 2024 — VA disability claims remain open

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

Maine has approximately 100,000 veterans and a proud military tradition anchored by Naval Air Station Brunswick (now closed) and Togus VA — the nation's first VA facility. Maine Marines who served at Camp Lejeune during the 1953–1987 contamination window may have been exposed to TCE, PCE, benzene, and vinyl chloride.
