Industrial Diseases.

When to take legal advice.

Within three years of the injury occurring. Or in the case of Industrial Disease/ Hearing loss, Within three years of the “Date of Knowledge” of the condition arising. Do not wait until you have been discharged.

What’s the “Date of Knowledge”.

It’s when you knew or ought to have known you were suffering from significant hearing problems and that it was as a result of your service. Quite often it is when you were first diagnosed – but not always!
