Breast Cancer Testing Class Members to Receive First Cheque

Class members who have submitted applications and been approved for injury compensation will receive their first cheque by the end of October.  This delay has been unavoidable in order to give the class members with deficiencies in their claim a chance to cure the deficiency.

A final cheque will go out to injured claimants later in the year, after the total number of approved claimants in each category is known.  There are always class members who do not wish to make a claim, and there will be a handful of appeals to process.  Once the "uptake" is known for certain, the administrator can disburse all of the funds.

An update on the situation was given by the class administrator last week.  The administrator's website is www.nlbreastcancersettlement.ca and contains a wealth of useful information.
