Is Renal toxicity a presumptive condition?
The short answer
Yes. VA lists Renal toxicity as presumptive for Camp Lejeune contaminated water.
That means you would not have to prove the medical link between this condition and your service. It does notmean a claim is approved. You still need a current diagnosis, service that meets the requirement for that exposure, and a discharge that isn't dishonorable, and VA decides every case itself.

What to do with this
Nothing on this page is advice about your claim, and it can't tell you whether you qualify. If the dates and places above look like your service, that is a conversation for a free accredited representative. If VA denied this condition before it became presumptive, VA says you can file a Supplemental Claim and it will look again.
Get your records together first
These claims turn on two things: proof of where and when you served, and a documented diagnosis. MusterVault keeps both encrypted and organized on your own computer and builds a packet for your representative.
