Announces the New Mesothelioma Scheme 2008 On 1st October 2008, the Government introduced the Mesothelioma 2008 Scheme. The new scheme means anyone diagnosed with mesothelioma will receive a Government lump sum payment regardless of the source of exposure to asbestos. Anyone who currently could not claim the 79 Act payment will now receive a lump sum. You will benefit for the scheme for example if mesothelioma has been contracted through self employment or environmental exposure.
