Nothing more is necessary.
UA has already violated the DOT IDB rules by not providing immediate compensation in the form of cash or cash equivalent, and by not notifying the OP of his IDB rights. Both of these appear to be common violations by UA, so I would add that a significant fine for UA is also in order.
