Default Changes are a commin.. Soon I hope!

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:

http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/283/4/519

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!

Sory me rant for today I just lost the apeal for my disability amount yesterday. and I just am soo upset about this travesty of justice
