Compensation from the Government

There are benefits you may be eligible for from the Government. This is intended as a general guide, for more information we strongly recommend you contact your local welfare rights group or Citizens Advice Bureau for further information.

The two most common forms of benefits for sufferers of asbestos related conditions are:-

  • Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

    This is awarded to suffers of asbestos related conditions (except pleural plaques) provided that certain conditions are met. I can assist you in completing the application forms and guide you through the process.

  • Pneumoconiosis (Workers' Compensation) Act 1979

    This is a one off payment to suffers of certain asbestos related conditions whose former employers have gone out of business. In order to qualify for this award you must have been awarded Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
