I had a 3.5% permanent partial impairment from on the job back in 1992. My Jod created a nioce office job inspectiong. However, throughtout those years i've been having problems with my back. I've been given medicationa from my primary doctor and that's been kinda helpful. I'l retiring within 2 months. I've contacted my employee over the years and they always ask me to call the insurance and the insurance (workers comp) doesnt care because they say it's happen yrs ago. It's my understanding that regardless of my yrs, workers comp must help me with a doctor visits or medications if I request it. I was working and making 80% at the time of my injury and therfore I wasnt quilified for a wage loss. I thought that their is a law that if your hurt their is a percentage of your injury, not your wage, because my employer and I worked things out to allow me to say on the job, I didnt want to run away and be paid by workers copm. am I intitled to income impairment benefits?
