Depleted Uranium and Veterans


Are you a veteran suffering from chronic fatigue, menstrual disorders, kidney or neurological problems? Were you deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq? You may be feeling the effects of depleted uranium.

Exposure to depleted uranium has been linked to medical problems experienced by many service members. Depleted uranium is a radioactive, toxic, metal byproduct of uranium enrichment. It is widely used by the U.S military and was used in the 1991 Gulf War for "offensive and defensive purposes" according to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies (IOM).

The IOM has determined that veterans may have come in contact with depleted uranium if you:

  • Were involved in cleanup operations
  • Were the victim of friendly fire incidents
  • Were in a Army combat vehicle that was struck

     by a DU-containing projectile

 If you are suffering from a medical condition related to exposure to depleted uranium, you may well qualify for health care, disability compensation, and a variety of other VA programs and services.

If you need help fighting for your veterans' disability compensation please do not hesitate to contact an attorney at LaVan & Neidenberg today.
