Congrats on the IME appt. Have a glass of wine for me..LOL. I was curious why you had to have a IME. Does the SS make you have that done? Just checking, as i am having one on April 3rd. because my wc ic is trying to say my PIR rating is to high and sending me to a guy that is a hand surgeon/upper extremity doctor.

Congrats again.

Social Security has nothing to do with wc. Except for settlement offset. Social security will have you re-evaluated at the one year, five year, or seven year period based on the extent of your disability.

Congrats maybe now you can be stress free for awhile . Please come to off topics you don't have to be the best writer or even a good one for that matter.

Hello AQA. I was told when u get approved for ssd thats It. i did not no i had to get re-evaluated. im sorry if i miss spoke ssd and w/c. i meant when it does come to settlement with w/c being that was approved by ssd first shot will that help me get a better settlement.I also think as far as offset i think im ok. i was making good money before i got hurt
