Below, in the seventh video of our EEOICPA series, Hugh sets out to clarify Part E of the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act. He also discusses the benefits, including medical and lost wage benefits, that an atomic weapons worker might be entitled to by having been exposed to hazardous or toxic substances that caused, contributed to, or aggravated a worker’s current illness(es). He explains how impairment ratings of a workers condition determine compensation and how wages lost through physical inability to work can also be compensated through the EEOICPA.
