Big news! The Armed Forces lump sum compensation payment for veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma has risen from £140,000 to £185,000. We welcome this increase - but call for a full review of the scheme to ensure it's fair, up to date & meets the needs of those affected today.

High pressure water can damage asbestos-containing materials and release fibres that are harmful if inhaled.
