Ablehnungen von Berufskrankheiten vor dem Wegfall des Unterlassungszwangs am 1. Januar 2021

This procedure is a written question concerning the rejection of claims for occupational diseases before a specific legal requirement—the 'duty to omit' (Unterlassungszwang)—was removed on January 1, 2021. It seeks to clarify how these past rejections were handled and the legal implications for affected workers. This primarily affects workers and employees in Germany who had their occupational disease claims denied prior to 2021 and may be seeking retroactive recognition or compensation.
