IDL payments or what?

HELLO 1171 OR ANYONE, I THINK I AM MISTAKEN ON WHAT I WROTE BEFORE. I WENT BACK TO WORK WITH NO RESTRICTIONS IN JUNE. I SEE THE QME IN LATE JULY. HE TELLS ME THERE IS A DEFINITE INJURY AND SURGERY IS NEEDED. IN AUGUST I GET A LETTER FROM W/C STATING HIS (QME) FINDINGS AND 5% IMPAIRMENT RATING. I HAD A SIMILAR (SAME BODY PART) SURGERY BACK IN 2001 AND WAS RATED 8% DISABLITY SO THE ADJUSTER SAYS NO PERMENANT DISABILITY PAYMENTS FOR ME (MY ATTORNEY SAYS THEY WILL HANDLE IT, MY DOC SAYS 21%). THEN A MONTH LATER (SEPT) I GET HURT AGAIN DOING MY JOB (SAME INJURY) AND AM TAKEN OFF WORK. I JUST READ THE REPORT AGAIN TODAY (SAT 16TH), THE REPORT FROM THE QME SAYS I AM[b] NOT P&S OR MMI. [/b]I DID NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW.(HOW CAN THE ADJUSTER RATE ME WHEN I AM NOT MMI OR P&S?) I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WAS MMI OR P&S WHEN MY DOCTOR SENT ME BACK TO WORK. I FIGURED THIS IS WHY THEY WERENT PAYING ME. SO, SHOULD W/C BE PAYING ME TEMP. DISABILITY WHILE I AM OFF WORK AGAIN? MY DOCTOR SAYS TO GET AN MRI ASAP SO WE CAN GET THIS SURGERY DONE SOON. SO IN A NUTSHELL, MMI OR P&S IS DETERMINED BY WHICH DOCTOR? THANKS, CURLEY

each injury stands on it's own. request a hearing to get TTD started.
