Do I have to prove that the oil spill caused decline in my business?
Claimants are no longer required to prove that the oil spill directly impacted their business. However, business claimants are required to provide their 2007 through 2011 monthly income statements. This is 60 months of financial revenue statements (also called Profit & Loss or P&L statements). Business claimants are also required to provide their 2007 through 2011 federal tax returns with all schedules. Yes, this is a lot of financial documentation needed to process a claim but don't you think it will be worth it? The average BEL is over $200,000
