The VA offers the following benefits to veterans:
- Aid & attendance
- Disability compensation
- Health care services

Veterans can also seek treatment from VA mesothelioma specialists. The VA’s mesothelioma doctors are some of the best in the world.

Veterans looking to file a VA benefits claim can begin the process by working with an experienced Oklahoma mesothelioma lawyer. These attorneys can help gather the information needed to file a claim (such as when and where military asbestos exposure occurred).
Once a mesothelioma lawyer has gathered this information, veterans can work with Veterans Service Officers (VSOs) to file for VA benefits. VSOs are trained by the VA to help veterans access these benefits.
