On Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 7:30 p.m. ET, The Mesothelioma Center will host an exclusive online webinar providing a closer look at available VA benefits and civilian resources specifically for veterans with mesothelioma.
Join me and Aaron Munz, the director of the center’s Veterans Department, for a discussion of the benefits available, how to file or appeal a VA claim and frequently asked questions from veterans and their families.
Veterans are among the groups most at risk for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma, but many may not know of the Veterans Administration benefits available to them. VA benefits and civilian resources for those with mesothelioma can pay for treatment, travel, lost wages and much more.
During the webinar, we’ll answer your questions directly in a live Q&A following the presentation. If you cannot join us live, registering for the webinar will guarantee you a recording via email after the event.
What You’ll Learn During the Webinar
As a former U.S. Army captain and director of the Veterans Department at The Mesothelioma Center, Munz will cover everything veterans with mesothelioma and their families need to know about VA benefits.
Discussion topics will include:
- A list of what is required to file or appeal a claim
- FAQs for veterans and their loved ones
- Steps veterans should take after a mesothelioma diagnosis
- VA benefits and civilian resources for veterans with mesothelioma
- What to expect throughout the VA claims process
Munz and I have specialized in assisting U.S. veterans for years and guiding them after asbestos exposure and an asbestos-related diagnosis. We’ve navigated the VA claims process for thousands of veterans.
We’ll be answering these questions and more:
- How and why are veterans at a higher risk for mesothelioma?
- How can I connect with a mesothelioma VA treatment center?
- How do I apply for Veterans Health Administration benefits?
- How is a mesothelioma diagnosis different for veterans?
- What is Disability and Dependency Indemnity Compensation?
- When should I file a legal claim against asbestos trust funds and manufacturers?
After joining us for this webinar, you’ll be prepared to receive the VA benefits you deserve. Veterans and their loved ones should have access to the best care available, and this knowledge can help make that a reality.

Anyone with questions about VA benefits for those with mesothelioma will benefit from this webinar. Veterans Service Officers assisting veterans with mesothelioma are also welcome. You should attend this webinar if you are:
- A veteran with mesothelioma

Navigating the VA system for the health care and compensation you deserve isn’t easy. Veterans with mesothelioma and their loved ones should also attend this webinar if they are:
