If you were exposed to asbestos in the armed forces you may be entitled to a War Pension in the place of other benefits given to those exposed in civilian work. Application forms and assistance can be obtained from the Veterans Agency.
If you were exposed both in the armed services and civilian employment it is vital you seek specialist legal advice as soon as possible because of the different benefits schemes available.
