DMPS compensation is rising by 49% but only for those diagnosed after Nov 4, 2025. Partner, Isobel Lovett welcomes this long-overdue rise, but we must address the delay and lack of retrospection meaning many victims have already missed out on justice.

Asbestos exposure in the Armed Forces is an underreported crisis. Veterans exposed to asbestos face stricter limits on compensation than civilians. In her blog, Legal Assistant, Alisa Ahmad explains why the current legal framework leaves too many behind and what needs to change.
