VETERAN ASSISTANCE FOR MESOTHELIOMA AND OTHER ASBESTOS-RELATED DISEASE

Each state has a network of Veteran Service Officers dedicated to assisting veterans and/or their dependents with filing claims relating to a diagnosis of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related illnesses. These officers are often located in the county in which the veteran resides, and are responsible for walking them through the process necessary to file for service-related disabilities. Up to 90% of the claims received by the Veterans Administration each year are submitted through a County Veteran Service Office.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer related to asbestos exposure, asbestosis or pleural disease, a Veteran Service Officer may be able to assist you
