unfortunately the VA does not have any case law or substantial claims linking the chernobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986 and its aftermath to veterans and their families. HOWEVER, statistical and scientifically cancer has been a known cause of over exposure to ionized radiation, and has also been known to take up to 20 years or more to show symptoms. In the case of chernobyl Acute Leukemia (cancer of the blood) and Thyroid Cancer have been linked specifically.
My Father was diagonsed with Acute Leukemia approx 1 year ago, his bone marrow transplant failed and is now in hospice slowly and painfully dying. We believe it is directly linked to Chernobyl as we were stationed at Zweibrucken Air Force Base from 1983 until 1987.
My baby sister was born November 1986 with a blood disorder that was unable to be determined and remained in PICU for the first 2 months of her life.
File your claim with the VA and provide documentation from oncology physicians etc stating this medical link and see what happens. Without claims filed and decsions appealed when denied we cant make this an issue the congressional board will look at.
