Asbestos exposure can be incredibly harmful, and it can lead to cancer, lung disease, and other life-threatening conditions. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause a great deal of damage to the body's tissues. If your loved one is a Navy Veteran or former shipyard worker and has just been diagnosed with bronchial cancer, lung cancer, asbestosis, diffuse pleural thickening, pleural plaques, pleural effusion, or malignant mesothelioma, he/she is eligible for free health care, disability compensation, and other VA benefits.
