How does the 7th Amendment affect the deadline for me if my health condition worsens in the future and I qualify for Matrix Level III, IV or V benefits?
Under the Seventh Amendment, Category One and Category Two Class Members must have been diagnosed with FDA Positive or mild mitral regurgitation between the commencement of diet drug use and the end of the Screening Period and progress to Level III, IV or V (as modified by the Seventh Amendment). The progression to Level III, IV or V must both be diagnosed and occur before December 31, 2011, or fifteen years after the last date of diet drug use, whichever is earlier. Although the deadline is shorter under the Seventh Amendment than under the pre-Seventh Amendment Settlement Agreement, Wyeth guarantees payment of these claims. That guarantee does not exist under the pre-Seventh Amendment Settlement Agreement and will not apply to those who elected not to participate in the Seventh Amendment. Medical conditions that arise after the earlier of December 31, 2011, or fifteen years after the last diet drug use, will not qualify for payment.
