Getting Veterans the Mesothelioma VA Benefits They Deserve

Because mesothelioma is a rare cancer caused almost exclusively by asbestos exposure, veterans diagnosed with this disease are entitled to disability compensation from the VA. This tax-free monetary assistance is designed to aid veterans by providing vital income to help cover medical costs, living expenses and family needs as they battle mesothelioma.

‍

The minimum disability rating for mesothelioma is 50%, but with an experienced attorney's assistance, veterans often receive a 100% rating. This top rating equates to over $3,700 per month in tax-free compensation as of 2023. That money can make a critical difference in being able to access top-quality medical treatment while also supporting loved ones during a challenging time.

‍

Our attorneys have extensive experience appealing VA claims to fight for veterans to receive a 100% rating for mesothelioma. We understand what evidence and medical documentation is needed to prove the severity of your illness and secure the maximum compensation allowed. Our goal is always to maximize your award, getting you the full amount you deserve.

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease that resulted from exposure to asbestos while serving in the military, you may be eligible for VA benefits. Some of the typical requirements are:

‍

• Medical documentation of an asbestos disease diagnosis from a qualified doctor
• Evidence that links the disease to asbestos exposure that occurred during active military service
• Obtaining your service records that detail your military occupation and assignments
• Receiving an honorable discharge after sufficient time serving actively in the military

Because mesothelioma is directly attributable to asbestos exposure, veterans diagnosed with this cancer qualify for tax-free VA disability compensation. This monetary benefit helps pay for medical treatment and provides income when fighting mesothelioma often prevents working.

‍

Veterans with mesothelioma typically receive 100% disability, equating to over $3,700 monthly. To secure this maximum rating, our lawyers provide comprehensive documentation proving the severity of your illness and linking it to asbestos exposure during specific military duties. We appeal VA decisions and litigate appeals to get you the full benefits allowed.

VA health benefits provide veterans access to mesothelioma treatment, medications, surgery, clinical trials and more at VA facilities. This care is provided free or at very low cost. Our legal team helps veterans get approved for VA health care and assists in coordinating coverage for treatments recommended by private doctors. We also help veterans access travel reimbursement for medical visits.

For veterans requiring help with everyday living due to illness, our lawyers can assist in applying for Aid and Attendance benefits that provide an extra monthly payment to cover home health aides, assisted living and similar services. Veterans confined to their home may qualify for Housebound benefits providing added compensation. We maximize your disability rating and benefits.
