PART 30_CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION UNDER THE ENERGY EMPLOYEES OCCUPATIONAL 
 
                     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.
