Can I receive workers' compensation for an occupational disease?
Yes, you can receive workers' compensation for an occupational disease if you can meet the legal test that applies to occupational diseases. The test is somewhat complex, but in summary, you must show that there is a causal relationship between your disease and your employment, and you must show that your disease is not an ordinary disease to which you and others are exposed in day-to-day life.
