Hope,
Are you discussing a settement with W/c? In that case there would be a question of what your future could require in care and a a thought to the cost of that. Medicaion, PT, medications, and future surgeies. As medicare would not be the primary for taht care, w/c set aside would likely be utilized.
That is jsut my guess, if you can contact your attonrey on Monday, or else social security office anonymously and ask them what it is about.
My son will be going through similar soon, the dialouge is just begining. He is not on SSDI yet, but I urged him after 5 years he must apply. I ahve concerns taht the set aside would be looked at as income by w/c. My daughters TOS injury settled, BUT her medical was left open, for now that is best!
Hope someone can give you a proper answer. But, something tells me if many folks are not familuar with it, it may not be in the best interest to the patient to have a set aside.
