As you may know, Feinberg, the Administrator of the Independent Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) which will adjudicate claims for individuals and businesses experiencing health and economic losses due to the oil spill, stated last month at a House Judiciary Committee hearing that he would likely not be compensating individuals for mental illnesses that result from the disaster.

Mental Health America finds this appalling and has sent a letter to Mr. Feinberg urging him to consider the overwhelming evidence that mental health conditions are real, treatable illnesses and that denying compensation is discriminatory and wrong.

Send Mr. Feinberg a letter stating your disappointment and concern with his current policy.

Take Action!
