DUHÉ, Circuit Judge:
BACKGROUND
These consolidated appeals present two issues: 1) whether the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 violates due process by automatically affirming claims older than one year as of September 12, 1996 and 2) what compensation, if any, two offshore workers are entitled to under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. We find the Appropriations Act constitutional. We also affirm the compensation awarded to Gilliam and vacate and remand the issue of compensation due to Cañero.
