Fen-Phen

The 7th Amendment to the AHP (Wyeth) Trust will be wrapping up their final disbursements soon, as it must exhaust those monies still in the trust as a condition of the terms of the Amendment. What each claimant will receive will depend on the number of “points” assiged by the Trust to each case. We will be able to update this further as the Trust notifies us of the payout and the timing of the payout.

For Potential Surgery Claims:
It is important that any of our FenPhen clients who feel they need surgery contact us immediately to discuss their condition and any additional potential remedies they may have through the Trusts or otherwise.

The deadline for making a claim for an intermediate OPT OUT claimant (anyone who opted out of the green form or the 7th Amendment) who has had valve replacement surgery is March 31, 2010. This means the surgery must be actually performed before that date.

Surgery claimants under the 7th Amendment (gray form or green form claimants) have a deadline of December 31, 2011 (or 15 years from your last FenPhen prescription) whichever is earlier. The surgery must be completed before one of these dates, whichever applies.
