When a family member of ours was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, we at Americas Watchdog had never heard of this disease or knew much about it. Mesothelioma is a rare and lethal form of cancer. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. We never realized that there was no safety net for victims, to get help from the government. We did not know how difficult it might be to get veterans benefits or social security benefits. We also discovered that it is critical for victims of this lethal disease to get proper legal representation. We have designed the Mesothelioma Victims Center to be the national advocacy center for the victims and family members of Mesothelioma. Our service is free. Our services includes:

Assisting the victims obtain Social Security permanent disability payments
 

If the victim is a veteran and was exposed to asbestos during military duty, we will work with the victim and his/her family in obtaining veterans disability and health care benefits.

We will assist the family in getting the best possible health care options

.
  We will assist the victim in getting legal representation.
 

We will assist the victim and their family in getting counseling on a wide variety of topics that arise from this disease.
 

Because no other group is providing this full range of services and because victims and their families need assistance in these areas we are doing this at no charge because its the right thing to do.
