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.

Yes, if the payments are related to your disability from an eligible 9/11-related condition. The statute requires that the VCF offset from your award any disability benefits you are receiving, or entitled to receive, related to your eligible physical health conditions. If you are receiving disability payments for conditions that are not eligible under the VCF, those amounts will not be deducted from your award.

Sí, si los pagos están relacionados con su discapacidad por una condición elegible relacionada al 9/11. La ley exige que el VCF deduzca de su indemnización cualquier beneficio por discapacidad que usted esté recibiendo, o tenga derecho a recibir, relacionado con sus condiciones físicas de salud elegibles. Si está recibiendo pagos de discapacidad por condiciones que no son elegibles para el VCF, esos montos no se deducirán de su indemnización.

Tak, jeśli renta przysługuje z tytułu niepełnosprawności na skutek uszczerbku na zdrowiu związanego z 11 września. Ustawa wymaga potrącenia przez VCF rent, które Państwo otrzymują lub są uprawnieni do otrzymywania w związku z uszczerbkiem na zdrowiu uprawniającym do otrzymania odszkodowania. Jeśli otrzymywana renta przysługuje z tytułu niepełnosprawności w związku z uszczerbkiem na zdrowiu niedopuszczonym przez VCF, kwoty te nie zostaną potrącone od odszkodowania.

是的，如果赔款是与 9/11相关且符合条件的疾病导致的残疾有关。该法规要求VCF从您的赔款中扣除您正在领取或有资格领取的、与您符合资格的身体健康状况相关的任何残疾抚恤金。如果您因疾病正领取残疾抚恤金，而根据VCF这些疾病是不符合条件的，那么这些金额不会从您的赔款中扣除。
