Common Answers to Mesothelioma Questions

Major Nelson has taken time to answer some of the most common questions veterans like you have about mesothelioma. Explore his answers below and see how he and the rest of our team can help you right now.

What is the VA rating for mesothelioma?

The VA almost always rates mesothelioma as a 100% disability, so you can receive $4,158.17 monthly if you’re married. I can help you file or increase your VA rating to get the highest payouts.

What is the average payout for a mesothelioma claim?

The average payout for a mesothelioma claim is over $1 million. The Mesothelioma Veterans Center and I can help you pursue the money you deserve. You can access compensation from VA benefits, trust fund claims, and lawsuits.

Which veterans were exposed to asbestos?

You could have been exposed to asbestos if you served in any military branch before the early 1980s. This is because thousands of military ships, bases, and vehicles used tons of asbestos-containing materials before the health risks were publicly known.
