I have only a Bristol Myers silicone gel breast implant. Can I also recover 40% of the Disease compensation grid amount?
A65. You may apply for these benefits but the Plan requires that you “marshal” your recoveries against Bristol Myers first. Any funds you recover from Bristol Myers would reduce your recovery from the Silicone Material Claimant Fund dollar-for-dollar. This means that if you recovered any funds as a Current Claimant or from the Long Term Benefit Program of the Revised Settlement Program, or as an opt-out, it is unlikely that you would recover any additional Disease compensation from this Plan.
