Generally, a claim must be brought within three years from the date of knowledge of the illness, which is typically the date of diagnosis or when the individual became aware of a link between their illness and their employment. However, in cases where the illness was caused many years ago, the time limit may be extended, and it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

In the case of military claims, the claims cannot be made for events before 1987. 

It’s best to consult our experienced lawyers who can advise on the specific time limits that apply to your case.
