New Asbestos Cancer Scheme Denies Asbestos Compensation to 50% of Victims

The latest DWP scheme ignores 50% of asbestos related disease sufferers. Statistics compiled by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), reveal that in 2009, 2,321 British people died due to Mesothelioma alone. Whereas an estimated 2,000 died from asbestos related lung cancer, and a further 411 deaths were caused by asbestosis. Under the new scheme, on the first 2,321 would be covered for Mesothelioma Compensation. The rest would be left without aid.
