It is designed to compensate those who have been exposed to asbestos while at work or negligently or in violation of statutory obligations, and who are not able to bring a claim against the employer or their Employers Liability insurance.

There are a few exceptions to the eligibility criteria for DMPS. These include those who came into contact with asbestos on a second basis such as wives washing their husbands' work clothes, environmental exposure or those who did not know the way they came into contact with asbestos. They will be compensated under the DMPS scheme but they should first consult a mesothelioma lawyer to determine if they can make a civil claim against their former employers or insurance companies.

This is because a mesothelioma lawyer can assist you in obtaining the most compensation you can in your particular case. The DMPS website suggests that you could apply for a DMPS payment on your own, however it is recommended that you do this with the assistance of a mesothelioma lawyer who is specialized.

Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB)

This is a weekly payment to those who are disabled due to an accident at work, or due to certain diseases linked to their work (but not self-employment). IIDB is a no fault scheme, which means that applicants do not have to prove negligence through the courts. The Department for Work and Pensions examines claims to determine if they are eligible.

Depending on your level of disability, you may be compensated for the rest of your life or for a set time. A doctor will determine the amount of disability, and will only consider the extent that it is caused by a work-related injury or illness. Existing conditions are not taken into account, however, doctors can review their assessment if they are getting worse.

IIDB is a not-means-tested and tax free benefit that is tax-free and non-means tested. It can be repaid in addition to other related benefits for incapacity, such as Attendance Allowance or Exceptionally Severe Disablement Allowance. It is also a way to supplement a lump-sum payment that is paid in compensation for an injury or illness that was caused at work, such as mesothelioma.

If you've been diagnosed with mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease and you are unsure whether you're eligible to receive benefits, you should speak to the Welfare Rights team of your local Citizens Advice bureau. If you are considering applying for benefits, it is important to seek out specialist welfare rights advice. Many people find the process of claiming complicated.

Diffuse Mesothelioma Lump Sum Payment (DMLP)

The Diffuse Mesothelioma Compensation Scheme (DMPS) is a compensation program that offers lump sums of money to those with diffuse mesothelioma. It was launched in 2014 and was replaced by an identical scheme that was established in 2008.

The DMPS is funded by an annual levy paid by insurers to cover employers the liability insurance. The system is based on demand, and the levy will be recalculated every year to reflect any changes in the number or applicants. The levy is collected by Tracing Services Ltd and distributed to successful claimants.

Diffuse mesothelioma is one type of asbestos cancer that affects the lung. It is a fatal condition that usually has an unfavorable prognosis. The DMPS scheme is designed to assist those who are diagnosed with this asbestos-related cancer as quickly as is possible. It also provides financial support to the family members of mesothelioma patients who died.

The DMPS provides lump sum payments to people who were exposed to asbestos in their work. The lump sum can be used for living expenses and to pay for treatments like chemotherapy and surgical procedures. The DMPS lump-sum amount is determined by the age of the person when diagnosed with mesothelioma. This ranges from PS94,750 for those who are aged 37 and less to PS14,722 in the case of those who are 77 years old or over.

DMPS was initially embraced by mesothelioma sufferers as a solution to fill a gap. However, four years on it is necessary to inquire whether it has done enough to ensure that those who have been diagnosed with this asbestos related cancer get the compensation that they deserve.

This is particularly the case with other types of asbestos-related diseases like lung cancer. The sufferers of these diseases, who are aware of the place of their asbestos exposure, but their employer is no longer in business and whose insurance companies cannot be located and are unable to make a claim for compensation in civil court.

This is unfair and something has to be done to change this. I recently counseled an individual who was diagnosed with mesothelioma. She knew that she was exposed to asbestos at British Uralite in Higham, Kent. Her father was a worker for the company, and returning home in soiled work clothes. She was eligible to apply for an DMPS payment of PS18,675. She does not have any further settlement from her estate.

This is a non-means-tested benefit that is provided to people who are 16 years old or older. The amount you receive is determined by the assessment you make which is based on the severity of your illness and your requirements. The DWP website provides more information about PIP and how you can apply. If you're unsure what to fill out on your application, get assistance from a local Citizens Advice group or an MS benefits adviser.

You must send your application for PIP to the DWP together with two proofs (a passport, UK Driving Licence, council tax bill or a housing association tenancy agreement) of your identity. You will then be referred to a PIP assessment. The assessment can take place at your home or in a centre and may take up to an hour. You may wish to bring an individual from your family or a close friend to provide moral assistance. Also, it is recommended to bring your PIP claim as well as medical evidence along with the DWP questionnaire "How your disability affects you".

When you take the PIP assessment, an independent healthcare professional will ask questions regarding how your health conditions affect you and how much help and care you require to accomplish certain tasks. You will be required to complete two tests that will focus on your daily life and the other on mobility and you will be awarded points for each task. You will be awarded a total of four or more points in order to qualify for PIP.

If you're not happy with the outcome of your PIP assessment, you can request an official review by sending an unwritten request to the DWP. This is the first step to take before you can appeal to the Appeals Service. It is essential to seek advice prior to contesting your PIP assessment, since the outcome can be unpredictable.
