You are submitting a request for
amendment.
Please note that changes you enter in this request do not
automatically amend your claim.
In consideration of the amendment(s)
requested, I acknowledge that such amendment(s)
may
affect certain legal rights relating to
the applicable Statute of Limitations, time of filing of a lawsuit in federal court, time
allotted for the Camp Lejeune Claims Unit to review and make a decision on the claim, or other
applicable legal right.
*Note: Any amendments that make
substantive change to the claim will provide the Camp Lejeune Claims Unit an additional
six months, from the time of the amendment(s), to review and make a decision on the
claim. Amendment requests that seek to modify the amount of damages claimed, and/or modify
the type of injury alleged, and/or modify the exposure period alleged, constitute
substantive
changes.
After you submit your request, a claims
adjudicator will contact you via email and reopen your claim. You will then be able to log into
your portal account and amend your claim. Once an amendment(s) is made, the information
contained on the originally filed claim and the amendment(s) made constitute the claim in its
entirety. A log of amendment requests can be viewed under the "My Changes" tab on the details
page for this claim.
After amending your claim, you may be required
to provide additional documentation to support the amendment which will likely increase the time
needed to adjudicate your claim.
