The VA claims process is the same nationwide, but California veterans should know these steps.
1. Gather Evidence
☐Hematology and pathology reports confirming multiple myeloma (per ASH/IMWG diagnostic criteria)
☐Bone marrow biopsy, serum/urine protein studies, and imaging
☐Records establishing whether disease is symptomatic versus asymptomatic/smoldering/MGUS
☐Presumptive nexus: multiple myeloma is a Camp Lejeune contaminated-water presumptive (1953-1987) and an Agent Orange (herbicide) presumptive
☐Records documenting residuals (anemia, renal impairment, skeletal damage)
