Presence and illness must both be shown with documents
What the document says“the claimant's primary residence was in the affected area;”
The section bars the Attorney General from finding the requirements met unless the claimant submits contemporaneous written residential documentation plus at least one further employer-issued or government-issued document, or other documentation the Attorney General accepts, showing at least 2 years of presence in an affected area after January 1, 1949. Presence counts where the claimant's main home, place of work or school was in the area. The claimant must also submit contemporaneous written medical records or reports, or other documentation the Attorney General accepts, showing they contracted a specified disease after that presence.
What the document actually says“the claimant's primary residence was in the affected area;”
One way to count is where a person lived. Their main home must be in the area.
Work or school in the area counts too. Papers must show it. More papers must show the illness came later.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
