EEOICPA Success Stories
Real results for energy workers and their families
Robert's Story
Oak Ridge K-25 Plant
The Challenge:
Robert worked at the K-25 Plant in Oak Ridge for 18 years as a maintenance technician. He developed breathing problems but didn't realize they could be related to his work exposure. His doctor eventually diagnosed him with Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD), but Robert had no idea he might qualify for EEOICPA benefits.
Our Approach:
After taking our eligibility assessment, Robert was connected with a Nucleim claims specialist who:
- Gathered his complete employment records
- Coordinated with his physician to obtain proper CBD documentation
- Arranged for additional testing to confirm beryllium sensitivity
- Prepared and filed comprehensive Part B and Part E claims
- Maintained regular communication throughout the process
The Result:
"I had no idea I was eligible for these benefits until I took Nucleim's assessment. Their team guided me through every step of the process, and I was amazed when my claim was approved in just 7 months. The compensation has helped me tremendously, but the medical benefits have been even more valuable."

Patricia's Story
Hanford Site
The Challenge:
Patricia worked as a laboratory technician at the Hanford Site from 1978 to 1992. In 2018, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had heard about the EEOICPA but was unsure if she qualified and was overwhelmed by the complex application process.
Our Approach:
Nucleim's team identified that Patricia qualified under the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) for Hanford workers, which streamlined her claim process. We:
- Verified her employment during the SEC period
- Gathered medical documentation of her breast cancer diagnosis
- Prepared and filed her SEC claim under Part B
- Simultaneously filed a Part E claim for toxic exposure
- Coordinated with DOL to expedite processing
The Result:
"When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was focused on my treatment and recovery. Nucleim handled everything related to my EEOICPA claim, keeping me informed but taking the burden off my shoulders. The compensation helped cover expenses my insurance didn't, and now I have lifetime medical coverage for my cancer treatment."
