The Isle of Jersey will be making lump sum mesothelioma payments as a result of citizen requests through an “e-petition,” as described in this 30 September 2019 online article at gov.je.news. According to the article:
“The amount of the lump sum payment for people living with Diffuse Mesothelioma will be based on their age at the time of their diagnosis. The amounts range between £92,259 for an individual aged 37 and under to £14,334 for an individual aged 77 and over. For example, an individual aged 70 would receive a payment of £17,961.”
