It is claimed the MoD breached the Human Rights Act by "knowingly" exposing them to the substance.
The MoD said it took troops' health and safety "extremely seriously".
Lawyers acting for Mr Hill and the group said the situation was "borderline scandalous" The BBC has seen requests dating back to 2020 for the MoD to disclose documents relating to the case.
They said the Service Inquiry was "not fit for purpose" because it did not test Mr Hill 's sample or collect samples from Skrunda-1.
