The Presumption of Asbestos Trusts Are Fast-Tracking Awards to Veterans

•April 19, 2022

Did you know that veterans with asbestos-related diseases can access funds without going through the VA?  Because their exposure is presumed, veterans are often awarded thousands of dollars.

CTC Chiel Legal Office, Geoffrey Bestor, is the former Staff Director of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs. Geoff had a recent interview with the 9th Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Dr. DavidShulkin, and Louis Celli, the Executive Director of Policy Vets where they discussed the Asbestos Trust, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, and how to access the Asbestos Trusts funds if you served in the military before 1990.
