Help for Veterans Because asbestos was known as an inexpensive, effective, and supposedly safe form of insulation that is both heat and fire retardant, ship builders used it in building nearly every ship commissioned by the U.S. military for much of the 20th century — likely causing asbestos exposure that linked many veterans and mesothelioma forever.

An accredited attorney can help navigate the VA claims process and help fight for the benefits you may be entitled to for illnesses caused by asbestos exposure. Attorneys are accredited directly by the VA and can assist with the preparation, presentation and prosecution of claims for VA benefits. VA accreditation is for the sole purpose of providing representation services to claimants before VA and does not imply that a representative is qualified to provide financial planning services or is otherwise endorsed by VA. VA accreditation may not be used for marketing financial products or promoting a financial services business. Veterans and mesothelioma have, unfortunately, become so connected in recent decades that those who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos diseases can get help through the U.S. government. Veterans should understand that any compensation they may be entitled to as a result of asbestos litigation is separate from their VA benefits.
