IR

Instructions for Filing an Individual Review (IR) Claim

The IR election is designed for claimants that do not meet the presumptive medical and/or exposure criteria, or claimants alleging Disease Levels II –  IV who seek to establish a liquidated value for the claim that is greater than its Scheduled Value in the ER process.

IR provides a claimant with an individual consideration and evaluation of his or her claim. In the case of Disease Levels II – IV, payments may be either greater or less than the ER payment that a claimant might have received. Because the detailed examination and individualized valuation require greater time and effort, claims electing IR may be processed after claims filed at the same time electing ER.

How to Initiate a Claim

If a claimant is qualified and elects to file a claim, he or she must file a complete Claim Form and submit all supporting documentation indicated.

Where to Submit Claim Forms

All paper submissions to the DII Silica Trust should be addressed to:

DII Silica Trust
P.O. Box 106
Wilmington, DE 19899

How to Qualify for Payment

To qualify for payment, a claimant must provide credible medical and exposure evidence and a submission deemed to be complete by the DII Silica Trust.

A claimant must submit the appropriate, fully completed Claim Form, including all supporting information referenced in the form. In addition, a claimant may file online using the DII Silica PI Trust website at www.diisilicatrust.com. Individuals wishing to file online may download the electronic filer agreement from the website. Any claim filing, whether electronic or on paper, that is not complete, or is missing any of the requested information, will not be processed until completed by the claimant.

Deadline for Submitting a Claim Form

There is no deadline for submitting claims other than the requirements imposed by the applicable statutes of limitation of the notification and election of Trust processing prior to trial.
