Asbestos kills more troops than the Taliban: National disgrace revealed by Mail as toxic MoD homes and equipment caused NINE TIMES more deaths than 20-year Afghan campaign

According to government records, asbestos killed nine times more military veterans than the Taliban’s British victims during the Afghan campaign.

Bad military accommodation, ships, submarines, helicopters and even tanks exposure to fatal materials, asbestos caused by a fatal cancer causes an average of 89 cases.

The British Vocational Hygiene Association, which is campaigns for workplace security, says that the possibility of former service personnel to develop asbestos can be ten times more than the general public.

The affected veterans also gave a significant less bids than civilians and a compensation order was broken.

In the last nine years, since the compensation plan for the military mesothelioma has been introduced, the Ministry of Defense has shown that the figures of the Ministry of Defense have paid a total of £ 112.5 million. All plaintiffs were fatal.

According to the annual health and safety manager figures, a similar number shows that he died of other lung cancers associated with asbestos and asbestos.

For 20 years, British service personnel were deployed to Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021-this is equal to deaths related to 3,560 asbestos among veterans thought to be a conservative prediction.

In contrast, 405 men and women died of 457 Britain losses in Afghanistan due to the hostile actions of the Taliban.

Mesothelioma, CEO of the UK, Liz Darison, ‘We must hang our heads in embarrassment – exposing our boys and girls to asbestos is killing them faster than the Taliban.’

Asbestos associated disease is the largest industrial killer in the UK, which lives more than 5,000 years per year. A little more than half of them is due to the mesothelioma, which is an incurable cancer that affects the lungs and stomach membrane.

Symptoms may occur after 20 to 60 years after exposure to asbestos fibers. It is always deadly and when the victims are diagnosed, most of them die in a year.

Daily Mail’s Asbestos: Britain’s secret killer campaign calls the government’s action and demands that the material be gradually removed from public buildings, and also the establishment of a registry to record the material and the status of the material.

Until 2016, the veterans who had mesothelioma could not claim compensation from the mode under the legal doctrine of crown immunity. In 2014, the legislation was adopted in 2014 to renounce the immune and war pension plan.

Claims of other diseases such as asbestos can sometimes be made to the armed forces compensation scheme depending on strict conditions.

Darison said: ‘Our national mesothelioma nurses see our network of disproportionate military veterans. It is not something spoken – but it must be. This is a national shame.

Even more embarrassing, how they are treated by the army after diagnosis of diseases. ‘

The Mesotheliom British survey by Sheffield University found serious inequalities about how it was treated with civilians compared to civilians.

In accordance with the War Pension Plan, those who are diagnosed may receive a weekly or monthly retirement salary or a £ 140,000 payment. Most receive payment, knowing that they have only one years to live. This has not increased for nine years.

Personal injury lawyers, civilians exposed to the workplaces against the workplaces of £ 100,000 more, they say they claim.

Darison added: ‘Beyond that, civil settlements often contain provisions of general, usually new or the latest treatments. Military settlements do not include this provision, which is largely unfair.

‘Civil families can make compensation allegations after a loved one can, while the families of veterans cannot do in accordance with the Pension Plan.’

For South Shields, who died from his grandfather Mesothelyoma, Labor Party Deputy Emma Lewell said: ‘It is not right for those who serve to receive less compensation from civilians. This needs to be looked at urgently. ‘

Former Royal Marine Edward Hill carries out a legal process against MOD, but is not allowed to remove the camp from him.

He said: ‘According to my own research, asbestos -related disease is killing more than anything else after natural reasons.

“ In addition to being treated with veterans, civilians are embarrassing. The government is very warning about the Armed Forces Convention, which should guarantee the welfare of those who serve, but according to my experience, it is not worth the paper he wrote. ‘

Professor Kevin Bampton, General Manager of the British Vocational Hygiene Association, said the government needs a ‘end -to -end strategy’ to protect the service personnel from asbestos dangers in their homes and equipment.

‘You can expect a reason for early deaths for the war injury of the service personnel,’ ‘he said. ‘You do not expect many people to die of asbestos -related disease, which is prevented and completely unnecessary.’

Mod, compensation payments to veterans affected by the mesothelioma, the required exposure proof standard is lower than civilian claims, he said.

And even though this has not increased, if a war widow (er) is selected, it increases annually with inflation. “We take the health and safety of our service personnel and defense employees extremely seriously,” he said.
