To get disability VA benefits, you have to be a veteran and file a claim for disability compensation through the VA. Veterans with mesothelioma can apply for benefits online or in person at a local VA office.
Your claim should include the following documents, all of which your legal team can help you get:
Medical records proving mesothelioma diagnosis and probable cause
Service records indicating the veteran’s job, specialty, and time served
A doctor’s statement identifying a link between a veteran’s exposure to asbestos and the development of a disease
