First of all, we offer you our sincere condolences.
As a spouse, legal cohabitant, former partner, or child still entitled to family allowances, you can submit a compensation request to the Asbestos Fund.
When a victim dies from the disease for which they were recognized by the Asbestos Fund, a letter is sent to the identified beneficiaries, informing them that they can submit a request related to this death. This letter includes a form to complete and return within one month.
If no form is returned within this period, a reminder letter is sent, granting a new one-month period to respond. If there is still no response after this second period, the processing of the file is stopped. However, if the beneficiaries submit a request later, the procedure can be reactivated, and the request will be processed without any time limit.
If the victim did not submit a recognition request during their lifetime, the beneficiaries then have six months from the date of death to submit their request.

Part 1 must be completed, dated, and signed by you.
Part 2 must be completed, dated, and signed by the doctor who certified the death or monitored your relative’s health.
This form will be automatically sent to you if the deceased was already recognized by the Asbestos Fund and we have your contact details. If necessary, please return the completed form within one month.
If your relative was not known to the Asbestos Fund during their lifetime, as a beneficiary, you have six months from the date of death to submit your request.
