Support & assistance for our nation’s nuclear workers
Assistance
We pair experienced advocates who know the EEOICPA claims process with medical professionals who have a deep understanding of work-related exposures.
Assistance filing an EEOICPA claim
Filing an EEOICPA claim can be an overwhelming and frustrating process. NWIA serves to build a thorough claim for you or a loved one.
We Will:
- Collect a worker’s medical and work history
- Determine a worker’s toxic exposures
- Construct a strong claim
- Fill out claim paperwork
- Communicate with the DOL on your behalf
Applied before and were denied?
Applying for EEOICPA benefits can be a confusing process. Many applicants have been denied in the past due to incomplete paperwork, missing medical records or information. NWIA will review denied claims and help to find evidence to resubmit your claim.
Help finding resources
NWIA provides help finding doctors, medical equipment, in-home health care, impairment doctors, and other Department of Labor Providers. We also provide education for providers to enroll in the program.
Additional Diagnoses
Many workers don’t realize they can expand their medical coverage and benefits. This includes additional diagnoses related to their illness and treatments. We can help identify any additional diagnoses and file additional claims.
NWIA helps workers get the benefits and help they deserve.
Representation
Nuclear Workers Institute of America believes every worker deserves the help they’re entitled to. NWIA provides Authorized Representatives services to fight on your behalf.
We will:
- Communicate with the Department of Labor (DOL)
- Receive and interpret DOL correspondence
- Present or seek evidence
- Obtain information related to your claim
- Argue factual or legal issues
- Exercise appeal rights
History
NWIA was founded on the principal of giving back to the community. After encountering workers who have tried and failed to file a claim successfully, we recognized a great need to help others through the EEOICPA claim process. As long as there is a need in our communities, we will continue to provide assistance throughout the claim process.
