Question
3.4 The WTC Health Program announced the addition of Uterine Cancer to the list of covered cancer conditions effective January 18, 2023. Can I receive compensation for my Uterine Cancer if it is newly certified by the WTC Health Program and I already filed a VCF claim?
Effective Date
Answer

Yes.  As of January 18, 2023, all Uterine Cancers, including endometrial cancers, have been added to the List of WTC-related Health Conditions, and are therefore eligible for compensation from the VCF, as long as all other eligibility requirements are met.

If your claim was previously denied because you did not have an eligible condition, and your Uterine or endometrial cancer is certified by the WTC Health Program, you may amend your claim.  The VCF will review the new information and notify you of the outcome of our review. 

If you have already been awarded compensation for other eligible conditions, and you are now certified for any type of Uterine or endometrial cancer, you may amend your claim to seek additional compensation related to the cancer.

See FAQ Section 5 for details on how to amend your claim.
