What is the Individual Review (IR) election?
Individual Review (IR) is designed for claimants that do not meet the presumptive medical and/or exposure criteria, or claimants alleging Disease Levels IV, V, VII, and VIII who seek to establish a Liquidated Amount for the claim that is greater than its Scheduled Value in the Expedited Review (ER) process. IR provides a claimant with a thorough consideration and evaluation of all aspects of his or her claim. In the case of Disease Levels IV, V, VII, and VIII, payments may be either greater or less than the ER payment that a claimant might have received.
