Enquire About an Occupational Asthma Compensation Claim

To aid you in calculating your Occupational Asthma claim value, please read the following definitions relating to the severity of your condition:

Mild asthma, bronchitis, colds and chest problems (usually resulting from unfit housing or similar exposure, particularly in cases of young children) treated by a general practitioner and resolving within a few months.

Relatively mild asthma-like symptoms often resulting, for instance, from exposure to harmful irritating vapour.

Bronchitis and wheezing, affecting working or social life, with the likelihood of substantial recovery within a few years of the exposure to the cause.

Chronic asthma causing breathing difficulties, the need to use an inhaler from time to time and restriction of employment prospects, with uncertain prognosis.

Severe and permanent disabling asthma, causing prolonged and regular coughing, disturbance of sleep, severe impairment of physical activity and enjoyment of life and where employment prospects, if any, are grossly restricted.

Whilst all instances of asthma can cause day to day problems, it is necessary to divide them into broad categories of severity for the purpose of indicating potential compensation amounts. We are by no means trivialising the severity of the symptoms described as ‘mild’ or moderate’ in the list or calculator.
