I had an automobile accident in 1987 (14 years ago). I got TTD for about 4 years. I was then determined to be MMI, and went off TTD. I now went on WC rehab status and received the same MMI money amount. I then went to wc job search and received the same money as TTD. I then got a part time job with a family member business and got $96/week income from the job, and received wc lost wages money. I then got terminated and received no money. I then got depression added to my case and was put back on TTD for about 2 years and received the weekly money checks again. I then was MMI again and TTD checks stopped again. I was determined at this time by the state doctor to be permanently totally disabled. I also had reports from my doctors that I was permanently totally disabled. I then requested to add new conditions of Fibromyalgia, and degenerative joint disease. I won this request in another wc hearing. It has been almost 2 years since I was terminated TTD benefits to this time. I since have had two more IME reports from a psyc dctor, and a medical doctor in reference to my permanent total disability application. The wc psyc doctor states that I am not able to work. The medical doctor states sedentary employment. I have had at least 15 IME visits, and reports written from them. Most are unfavorable reports because the doctors get paid to write unfavorable reports. Since I have been forced to so many IME doctors, I consider this hounding me. I hate to see wc mail, and see another letter for a IME, or another denial for necessary medical treatment, or another ws hearing date is set. I hate to have to ask my doctors time and time again to be professional writers because I need their help again in the form of a letter or report. I bet I have made at least 30 requests for letters of support from them. I hate to pay the letter requests out of my pocket to pay the doctors for the reports they write. It seems wc is a constant nightmare that is like the energizer battery bunny on tv, it goes on, and on, and on. It does not stop. At this point I am almost 61 years old, and if I should be fortunate enough to get a favorable decision at the wc permanent total disability hearing, I want wc to stop forcing me to continue theit tatics. If I must continue, I will, but it sure would be nice to see there is a date they stop. If it is retirement age, is that age 62, age 65, or age 100 as far as wc is concerned. Although by defination, I have been permanently disabled since the accident, I have not been recognized pernanently totally disabled as of yet. I have never had and full time employment, or made up to $500/Month. My hearing is to now determine if I am permanently disabled. I do not envy the wc system of requirements, and denials on anyone. You will be in a rude awakening wonc you understand what WC does to injured workers. |
