presumptive weight of designated doctor

[AQA]

The question is which one?

The reason I ask the question, is as follows. I have called the ic twice and left messages. I received no responce. My temp. benifits end tomorrow and I have not had an impairment rating performed. In my state MMI is capped at 104 weeks. I have not been released for work yet, and I do not see it in the near future. The only way I receive monitary benifits will be based on my IR. So today I called the state office for wc and explained the situation. They told me I should have already been rated. ( I was shocked, I actually was talking to someone that new thier job.) After a few minutes of talking, they filled out a form 32 and sent it to austin. ( via internet ). I was told I would receive a letter from austin as to the date and time to see a dr. for the purpose of ir.

With all that being said. I would be seeing a designated doctor that the state sent me to. The ic can dispute that rating and send to another designated doctor. I can dispute the doctors rating, with the help of my wc doctor.

I am correct in the beliefe that the state designated doctor has presumtive weight.

If the W/C sent You to their Doctor who do You think they Will listen to?
You need Your Doctor to either agree or dispute their Doctor .
I cant say that their Doctor would lie but it would not be the first time a Doctor low balled a rating.
This is just one reason People need Attorneys for W/C cases.
