Mr S a 74 year old retired heating engineer was exposed to asbestos while fitting domestic boilers for Eastern Electricity Board between 1963–1979.  He sadly developed mesothelioma after moving abroad to enjoy his retirement.

Within weeks of our initial instruction, he was successfully awarded a PWCA government sum lump award of £13,900 plus a weekly Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit allowance even though he was now living outside the UK when he was diagnosed. This helped reduce some of the financial burdens of being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Through hard work and sheer determination, Raelene was able to settle his claim within 12 weeks of meeting Mr J.
