As well as pursuing civil claims against former employers, on behalf of our clients who have developed Mesothelioma following exposure to asbestos, we are also able to assist in obtaining other benefits such as Industrial Injury Disablement Benefit, Attendance Allowance and lump sum payments from the DWP (please see the image for the relevant scale of awards).
Peter Lodge of Festival Law commented: “On the occasions where it is not possible to pursue a civil claim, perhaps due to being unable to identify a former employer or insurer, we would always be willing to assist in completing application forms for any asbestos sufferer. Although clearly no financial award is ever going to be sufficient, we do try to ensure that the asbestos sufferer receives what they are entitled, which could assist them, or their families, in some way as the condition progresses”.
