Special master Feinberg:
We like many others who lost a love one, in this case our daughter .
A very vibrant, caring and loving young woman of 27 years of age. We are
concerned about the fair and equitable disbursement of the funds you are
overseeing. In point the reduction of monies received from outside sources
especially insurance and pension funds. It would seem that these benefits are
a result of people paying premiums and making payroll deductions as such they
are a separate issue. Also I don't recall this formula being used to
compensate the victim's families of Flight 800. Additionally I have to wonder
why our loss of a daughter is different from others lost as a result of this
disaster, meaning that we are not allowed to either apply for or find out
what compensation would be given to us. In order to obtain some of this I am
told that if we don't OPT in we can't be told. If we do OPT in than we cannot
get out. How do we make an informed decision about what to do if you will not
allow to get the necessary data?
We respectfully request that you take time to hear our voice and the voice of
others who have lost that which was the essence of of our lives. Someone who
meant so much and can never be replaced.
Thank you,
