Hey there, how you doing?. Look, a relative was on active duty on a base, and he was told to look for information about possible health problems there. Is that correct?
Was he serving at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune or Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina?
No, none of those.
Good. Do you know if he have qualifying service at Camp Lejeune and a current diagnosis of any condition?
No, he doesn't have any of that.
================
O.k, meanwhile, can you tell me who can get coverage for benefits?
No problem. Any veterans, reservists or guardsmen, can be covered.
================
Oh right. I suppose there are some requirements for that, i'm right?
Indeed, there are. I ask again, Did he served at Camp Lejeune or MCAS New River, for at least 30 cumulative days from August '53 to December '87?
Well, yeah, that fits with him, he was there for that cumulative period.
Excellent. Did he received a honorable discharge when separated from military?
Yeah, that's correct. He went out with honors.
That's great. Then wihout any doubt, he can get those benefits.
