Termination of Temporary Income Benefits

[ec1965]

I live in Texas and I was injured in March, 07 & filed a claim. I was seen by a doctor & receiving treatment. In June, 07, due to needs of my 83 year old parents & continued problems with my injury, I voluntarily left my employment. I was not receiving any benefits because I really had not been absent from work. From June, 07 to Dec, 07, doctor kept me out of work for most of the time. I had been looking for work, but I couldn't work due to my injury. In January, 08, I received my first income benefit. However, by separate notice, my benefits were terminated because I had volunarily left my employment. According to workers comp, that should have no bearing on my temporary income. Does anyone have any specific research or information in this regard. I did try to find employment during the few times that the doctor allowed me to work. But, I couldn't work due to the injury.

Thank you for any information.

I am not sure this will apply to you but I will tell you what I did.
I had an attorney that did nothing not even return my calls or answer my emails so I started to educate myself.
I was let go from my employment so I filed for Unemppployment.
I was awarded this but since I couldn't work without restrictions I could not collect money.
I had a doctors paper saying I could not work.
On my states website there was a form to fill out for changes to my claim.
I first fired my attorney, I could not submit this paperwork if I had an attorney.
Filled out the paper and mailed a copy of the doctors paper, along with an updated one to workers comp and copies of all of these documents to my case manager and the insurance company.
4 weeks later I received a check going all the way back.
Good luck
The IC saw I had an attorney who ignored me and thought i WAS TO STUPID TO DO ANYTHING.
tHEY ALMOST GOT away with not paying me.
