How hard is this claim to file?
Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Pre-Effective Date Diagnoses (on or before Feb 6, 2017) required claim submission by February 6, 2019 — if you missed that window, you must demonstrate substantial hardship to get an extension.
- Post-Effective Date Diagnoses (after Feb 6, 2017) must be submitted within two years of the diagnosis date — missing this deadline may forfeit your claim.
- Your diagnosing physician must have met with you in person; diagnoses communicated by email, texts, letters, or phone are not accepted.
- Once the Claims Administrator begins reviewing your Claim Form, you can no longer edit it through the portal.
- If filing on behalf of a deceased or incapacitated player, you must file as a representative claimant — the process may require additional documentation not detailed in the available notice.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
