Benefits payable by the Government for mesothelioma

1. Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

As soon as you are told that you have an asbestos-related condition, or your doctor suspects that you have such a condition, you should claim the appropriate benefits from the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP).

You should apply for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit if you were exposed to asbestos at work.

I will help you to do this if you have not already done it.

2. Pneumoconiosis etc (Workers Compensation) Act 1979.

You may get a one off payment from the Government. This has nothing to do with a civil action against employers.
