They will stop paying my w/c benefits. However, my weekly check will not terminate. my case is pending before the Industrial Accident Board of Delaware. So, through the Second Injury Fund, it will pay my w/c benefits during the time my case is pending". If I win, W/C will owe this to the State of Delaware. If I lose, I don't owe anything to Delaware.

What the HECK? How do they know what I am capable of? OH YEAH...I just had my IME from the defense...who diagnosed me 3-5% when OUR doc diagnosed me 50%. HMMMMMMM.......wonder what's up with that?

A very mad Kim. (sorry...)
Hey Kim, EXACTLY -I'm MAD TOO FOR YOU!!!!-how do they know what we are going thru, how some days we can't get out bed. Yesterday, I was measuring a window-two measurements-well guess what, I couldn't remember the first one, but the last one, I could. That's pretty simple-two measurements, but only could remember the last one. I did this over and over again on all the windows in the home we are moving to. I finally just did one at a time. No wonder my husband started transferring all our business call, I could never remember who called or what they said. That's what 15 years of this junk does to you. Now 15 years and full body and internally.Not to mention Trigeminal Nerve- That where you feel an ice pick is stuck in your temple. fibromyalgia, Diverticulitis, PTSD-complicated parents death and finding my father. Now need to be tested for RA. and Sleep Apnea. Also fell at an EXXON station putting air in my tire. I reported it to the manager. I didn't know I had RSD, wish I would have pursued damages, because now the RSD causes so much pain in my neck and headaches that are BAD. The air hose was faulty and retracted suddenly, throwing me back and rupturing a disk in my neck-a MRI showed. The stationed took the air hose equipment out during the night-the next morning, when I went over-a brand new one was in it's place. Also, got up one morning and passed out-hour and half-crawled to door-couldn't stand up and got my husband attention. He was upstairs at his desk-heard me get up, but didn't come down till he heard the pounding. He called 911-paramedics told him I was dead-I had passed out again. Very traumatic for him. I don't remember going to the hospital, but was in semi-icu for I think 4 days, my husband says 6 days. This happend because my blood pressures dropped suddenly. Most of us generally have high blood pressure from the sympathetic nervous system, but the para sympathetic nervous system lowers the blood pressure. I check mine nearly every day and journal it. The machine only cost $30 at Costco.
I hope with all my heart , this will soon be over for you and you will get the benefits you deserve. Please let me know how it goes. Your friend, loretta with big hugs
A couple days ago, my husband applied for SSDI for me. I'm 62 and haven't worked for quite a while. I dread going thru the red tape. I hope you get some justice with your WC case. I hope my case doesn't drag out. I don't think I could handle denial after denial. I have already talked to attorney and they will step in if I get denied.
