                     Subpart C_Eligibility Criteria

 

Sec.  30.215  How does a claimant establish that the employee has 

sustained an injury, illness, impairment or disease as a consequence 

of a diagnosed cancer?



    An injury, illness, impairment or disease sustained as a consequence 

of a diagnosed cancer covered by the provisions of Sec.  30.210 must be 

established with a fully rationalized medical report by a physician that 

shows the relationship between the injury, illness, impairment or 

disease and the cancer. Neither the fact that the injury, illness, 

impairment or disease manifests itself after a diagnosis of a cancer, 

nor the belief of the claimant that the injury, illness, impairment or 

disease was caused by the cancer, is sufficient in itself to prove a 

causal relationship.
