Your claim will be assessed if you are terminally ill or you have any of the following:
- diffuse mesothelioma
- angiosarcoma of the liver due to exposure to vinyl chloride monomer
- primary carcinoma of the bronchus or lung through exposure to arsenic
- primary carcinoma of the bronchus or lung through exposure to Nickel/Nickel compounds

If you have any other illness or condition, you can still make a claim. The assessment of your claim may be delayed because of coronavirus (COVID-19). When your claim is considered, your IIDB payments will be backdated to the date DWP received your claim form.
If your claim is currently being considered, you cannot have a face to face medical assessment because of coronavirus. DWP will contact you about your claim.
If you disagree with a decision
You can challenge a decision about your claim. This is called asking for ‘mandatory reconsideration’.
