The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) provides financial compensation to individuals suffering from certified 9/11-related health conditions. While many people are aware that the VCF offers compensation for lost income and benefits, and for pain and suffering, many may not realize that they may also be eligible to claim out-of-pocket medical expenses. If you’ve paid for medications, treatments, specialist visits, or assistive devices related to a certified 9/11 illness, you may be entitled to reimbursement. Here, we explore the types of expenses covered, the eligibility requirements for claiming these expenses, the documentation you’ll need, and how an experienced VCF lawyer can help you get the maximum award amount for your individual circumstances.
