55 next week.
I know that for most of us it is a struggle to get this. I feel very grateful to be getting it. I have been on WC for 4 yrs and just filed due to being told after 5 yrs no work then benefit starts going down. So I filed in Sept and had to go see a SSD Doc for the depression in Dec. needless to say I wasn't expecting the money or approval this quickly.
I have been wanting to settle the comp claim and wanted it done before this went thru. now Medicare will be involved in the set aside $$ for future care. This set aside would have been my an lawyers best faith estimate, now its up to medicare to tell the WC people how much they will pay me for that part of my claim.Could be ALLOT more than I was going to demand, or maybe less who knows now.
