Can I get compensation for occupational asthma?

Yes.

Speak to your union rep or a solicitor about making a claim against your employer. See our section on personal injury claims.

Depending on what caused your occupational asthma, you can also make a claim for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. You can get information about this benefit from your local Jobcentre Plus or at www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk or www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/industrial_injuries_dis.htm.
