Tepco paid only 30,000 yen for 200 million yen of compensation claim


Tepco and Japanese government won’t pay anything even though we have cancer.
For the compensation of 216,350,000 yen, Tepco only paid 30,000 yen.
At the end of June, 15 of corporations and individuals in Miyagi claimed for compensation of Fukushima disaster. The compensation amount was up to 216,350,000 yen, but the compensation for 6 corporations and individuals were turned down, which was 127,000,000 yen. 8 corporations and individuals were required to submit sales history etc, but it is not sure if Tepco will compensate for them. The only case Tepco paid for was the compensation of a corporation. It was for the cost of radiation measurement.
According to the government’s interim guideline, most parts of Miyagi prefecture are out of the places where Tepco should compensate for, for some reason.
One of the freshwater fish cultivation company had their compensation claim declined too. They are in Tomiya machi Miyagi. Rainbow trout was their main lineup but the annual sales dropped from 2,500,000 to only 10,000 yen. Tsukiji market asked them not to ship fish because of no order.
The reasons of Tepco rejecting the claim were
1) There is no clear connection between the drop of sales and nuclear accident.
2) Shipping fish is not restricted in Naruse river, which is near the company.
A farmer quit growing vegetables for the risk of radiation effect. He had his claim turned down.
It was because “It was his own decision to quit growing vegetables. It has nothing to do with nuclear accident.”
For the claim of lawyer fee was declined to say “Tepco opens the reception for everyone. They don’t need to hire lawyers.”
The chief lawyer of the victims comments, “Tepco does not even investigate the actual situation, their response is almost random. We expected them to respond properly. We are shocked.”
Tepco comments, “We asked our lawyers to deal with the claimant. We asked relevant department to confirm it with the lawyers to make sure to check the cause between nuclear accident and compensation amount carefully.”
When our health problems become clear, Tepco and Japanese government will abandon us. Believers are ignored.
