20 CFR 30.214 - How does a claimant establish that the employee has been diagnosed with cancer or has sustained a consequential injury, illness or disease?

• Section Number: 30.214
• Section Name: How does a claimant establish that the employee has been diagnosed with cancer or has sustained a consequential injury, illness or disease?

    (a) Evidence that the employee contracted a specified cancer (in 
the case of SEC members) or other cancer should include a written 
medical document that contains an explicit statement of diagnosis and 
the date on which that diagnosis was first made.
    (b) An injury, illness, impairment or disability sustained as a 
consequence of a diagnosed cancer covered by the provisions of 
Sec. 30.210(a) and (b) must be established with a fully rationalized 
medical report by a physician that shows the relationship between the 
injury, illness, impairment or disability and the covered cancer. 
Neither the fact that the injury, illness, impairment or disability 
manifests itself after a diagnosis of a covered cancer, nor the belief 
of the claimant that the injury, illness, impairment or disability was 
caused by the covered cancer is sufficient in itself to prove a causal 
relationship.
