Government to compensate pleural plaque sufferers

Posted on June 10, 2010 with 7 Comments

The Government is to make compensation payments to pleural plaque sufferers who were pursuing a claim prior to October 2007.

Sufferers of pleural plaques were dealt a huge blow in October 2007 when the House of Lords announced that compensation for pleural plaques would no longer be paid, despite the fact insurers had been paying out on these claims since the 1980s.
