Justice for Asbestos Families

Members of the Mick Knighton self help group ( http://mickknightonmesorf.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ ) are asking for the level of bereavement compensation paid to families of Mesothelioma victims in England and Wales to be increased to match payments currently made in Scotland.

Scotland currently pays £30,00 to spouses. Other family members can also qualify for a payment for losing their loved one. The payment is between £10,00 and £15,000 for each family member.

England and Wales pay £10,000 to the spouse, family members are not included in any compensation claim.
This meeds to be changed.
I fully back this petition and would ask that any family touched by Mesothelioma and losing a loved one to this disease signs it too. I have added a link below.

Thankyou for your much needed support.
