Medical Screening

There are several medical screening programs available which provide FREE medical screenings to all former nuclear workers.

Early detection of a work-related illness can make a difference! Click here for additional information.

Impairment Ratings

Part E of the EEOICPA provides for an impairment benefit. Lump sum compensation is paid in the amount of $2,500.00 per impairment percentage point. If you are awarded a 10% whole body impairment you would receive a lump sum compensation award of $25,000.00.  While a claim for impairment benefits can be filed at any time, the Department of Labor cannot make a determination on an impairment claim until the employee has received a Part E final decision which concludes that he or she contracted a covered illness.
