The hearing decision came in today. It states "Permanent Total Disability Compensation is hearby adwarded from 3/30/1999." That is the date day after TTD was stopped. It is my understanding that benefits will be paid retroactive from that date, and continue for life. This battle lasted 2 days short of 14 years. I am from Ohio I understand this is a fortunate victory. I will keep you updated and try to answer questions you may have. |

Posted At 23:56:06 01/28/2001 Good for you Jimchudy! Yes the amount is retroactive. It may take a couple of months, but you will get a nice lump sum of payments back to the date they decided on, then your regular payments. My battle didn't take as long to get as yours. Got perm/total 3 years ago after a 2 year battle, and a million IME's just to be sure of course. It still never makes up for all you've lost,(health,lifestyle,ability to function without pain,credit rating and everything you may have lost due to not being able to work,and the brain damage from what they put you through to get it) but at least it's something GOOD happening for a change! And isn't it a RELIEF to know that this part of the battle is finally over? You can exhale now! :) |

Posted At 03:40:12 01/29/2001 Jim~just wanted to congratulate you. This is good news.But it is like Dee said, with what we have to go through, basically PAIN & SUFFERING I wonder if it's worth it. yep, guess it is, come to think of it, in terms of the *monetary value* anyway. Can't put a price on health tho. I am having a PCE(physical capacity evaluation) this morning. I am NOT going to be able to sleep so am staying up all night. It is an insult to injury to put you through these tests, and my own Doc was not too happy the rehab counselor scheduled this for me. I KNOW she works for the company *I* used to work for, so I know it is NOT for MY benefit or in MY best interest. They want me off the payroll. So here I go....jumping through *THEIR* hoops. Keep us posted and throw your 2 cents worth in occassionally. Take care~L.P. |

Posted At 16:30:27 05/06/2001 I was awarded total and permanent disability pension payment. The date of the commencement of payments BORE NO RELATION to the date of my injury. Payments commenced on the date the the administrative board received evidence which was satisfactory to them. |
