answer text

The eligibility date was set as 25th July 2012 as this was the date that the Government announced it would legislate for a payment scheme, thereby creating a reasonable expectation that eligible people diagnosed with mesothelioma on or after that date would receive a payment. If there was no start date, and the scheme paid people diagnosed in the past, the costs of the scheme would be prohibitively expensive.
