The VA claims process is the same nationwide, but Michigan veterans should know these steps.
1. Gather Evidence
☐Pathology and cystoscopy reports confirming the malignancy
☐Oncology treatment records documenting active disease and therapy dates
☐Presumptive nexus: Camp Lejeune contaminated-water exposure (1953-1987) establishes bladder cancer as presumptive; toxic exposures under the PACT Act may also apply
☐Voiding diaries and urodynamic findings documenting post-treatment voiding dysfunction
☐Lab work (creatinine, eGFR) if renal dysfunction is the predominant residual
2. Contact a Michigan VSO
