VA Mesothelioma Claims: Veterans Get Compensation for Asbestos Exposure

Veterans exposed to asbestos during military service may qualify for VA disability benefits and legal compensation for mesothelioma. Danziger & De Llano’s 2025 Veteran Exposure Study reveals that over 30% of mesothelioma cases involve veterans—especially those who served in the Navy or shipyards. This page explains eligibility, VA ratings, average payouts, and how our experienced mesothelioma attorneys help veterans secure the maximum compensation available.
