Veterans with Mesothelioma or Lung Cancer

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer their is a great possibility that you were exposed to asbestos while in the military. Experts tell us that there is no way to separate out the damage that each exposure to asbestos does in creating deadly cancers such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Therefore, it is always true that each exposure, however small, contributed to the cancer. Unfortunately, mesothelioma does not discriminate based on gender, race or sex. Veterans diagnosed with mesothelioma and lung cancer come from all branches of the military. Ages of mesothelioma victims vary greatly as well. In fact, Veterans Assistance Network often handles mesothelioma cases for veterans from as far back as World War II.

Because of the very long latency period from the time of asbestos exposure to the time of the asbestos cancer, many veterans do not seek the VA benefits that they are entitled to. However, just like a soldier injured in war, mesothelioma and lung cancer victims are entitled to maximum benefits. At Veterans Assistance Network we handle all types of disability claims, however we have taken as special interest in mesothelioma claims due to the extreme injury involved. We feel that these brave veterans have been denied benefits for far to long and we are here to even the playing field.

Our friendly and skilled volunteers (comprised completely of veterans) have dedicated their time to ensuring that each asbestos exposed veteran is given a fair shake in obtaining their well deserved VA benefits. Our service is 100% free. Our reward is knowing that veterans and their families will get much need benefits during their time of need. If you or a loved one has developed mesothelioma or lung cancer as a result of asbestos exposure call us today. We are standing by to help you in all your VA needs.
