BC Canada has also since 2003 used the AMA guidelines (though they don't tell you that) and do not take into account HOW the injury affects your life.

I have full body RSD and have to use a scooter to get very far and cannot work I was "awarded" 123.73 a month!!

Here is a link to the JAMA site where they explain that there are problems and what they are doing about it:

The AMA guidelines were never meant to be used alone but in conjunction with another assesment to rate the impact the injury has on your life:

It's no wonder they save so much money they are putting us on the streets!
