The Mesothelioma Center (Asbestos.com); is an organization devoted to assisting veterans through their application processes for VA benefits, and helping them obtain the maximum benefits for which they are entitled.

Countless veterans are currently suffering from life-threatening illnesses that are a result of exposure to asbestos, a material that was commonly used in hundreds of military applications, products, and ships primarily because of its resistance to fire.  Unfortunately, asbestos-related diseases are not always recognized by the VA.

The Mesothelioma Center provides a complete list of occupations, ships, and shipyards that could have put you at risk for developing asbestos-related diseases. In addition, they have thousands of articles regarding asbestos and mesothelioma and they’ve even created a veterans-specific section on their website in order to help inform veterans about the dangers of asbestos exposure. 

For additional information please contact the Executive Director of the Veterans Assistance Network Carl Jewett carl.jewett@asbestos.com
