Default Functional Capacity Evaluation
Anyone ever have one? It is scheduled with an OT and supposed to last 4 hours or so. It is to evaluate permenant restrictions as listed on my LTD claim with Unum.

It is scheduled for exactly two weeks after my scalenectomy...so I still have lifting restrictions from my surgery...i dont' know why they didn't wait a little longer, but they didn't.

In any case, supposed to evaluate my ability to lift, twist, bend, and specificalyl i have listed restrictions for grasping, keyboarding, reaching, and some other stuff on my claim.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience to share. Goign to look up old threads next.

Thanks
Johanna
