The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. This Canadian veteran, who served from '55 to '79, was working as a marine engineer on warships. But here's the tea: he was exposed to asbestos. Like, everywhere. He said the conditions were straight-up "deplorable."

Fast forward, and this dude gets prostate cancer. The Veterans Review and Appeal Board panel was like, "Hold up, this ain't right." They put two and two together and realized the asbestos exposure def played a part. No cap, they were like, "This increased his risk."

So, here's the good part: the panel decided to award full disability benefits to the vet's spouse. That's right, fam! Justice served! It's a major W for the family after a long battle. RIP to the veteran, and big ups to his family for fighting for what's right.
