Default Gotta love Workmans Comp....NOT!

So i got a registered letter today. It states they the worker from SAIF which is the insurance carrier for workman's comp tried to call and notify me of an appt to a neuropsychologist. A lie. I have the numbers stored in the phone. No calls came through.

So i am guessing this appt, which is apparently set up for August 20th at 8:30 in the morning with the Dr of their choice to determine whether or not i still need continued care, is for a neuropsych exam. I have been on the fence about getting one anyway. But i wanted it to be on my own terms.

I have had one done before a few years back so i have a base line. But i know that ultimately i will need to pursue a settlement and i am really freaking out here now that i am faced with this. I don't yet have an attorney because this is all so daunting. especially with a head injury. My attention span isn't long enough to find an attorney, and my anxiety level is so high about it all that i start researching stuff and i just start shaking and shut down.
