A denial from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) can be upsetting, particularly when you are already dealing with cancer or another serious illness. But a denial does not always mean the VCF has decided that you were not exposed or that your illness is unrelated to September 11. Sometimes the claim cannot move forward because required documents are missing. In other cases, the evidence has been reviewed and an eligibility requirement has not been established.
