DOL Consultants' Reports
DOL uses several types of different experts to determine whether a claim will be paid. DOL can rely on a District Medical Consultant (DMC) report, an Industrial Hygienist report or a Toxicologist report to advise whether the evidence the claimant sent DOL meets the standard of "at least as likely as not" that the claimant's exposures to toxins "caused, contributed to, or aggravated" the claimant's illness.
It can be very useful to study these reports to see DOL's experts' opinions. EECAP has begun a project to provide access to these reports online. If you have a report you would like to send to us, please redact it and send it to EECAP, along with a brief statement that you give us permission to place the redacted report on the website.
