need some advice

[tomg]

Hi I'am in Texas and I have been on wc since 8/03 I had a fusion L-4 to S-1. Already had an inpairment rating 25% wc got it down to 10% I already have got all my payments. they no longer want to pay for my meds or any thing the Dr. ask for. I have nerve damage on S-1 I'am on ssdi and I have medicare. my qustion is if I tell wc I want off do they give some kind of settelment? Or that's all they do for you.

Im confused Tomg .... You said you got all my payments ..... they no longer want to play for anything ...

Did you sign any papers already for a settlement ?
Or Are you talking about payments for like wage loss ?
You after getting a rating sometimes get a settlement .. There are 3 diff types ... top of the page see the different links in yellow >... Go to hot topics there it tells about the types or also you can go to the state information link for your own states regs .

If the only benefits left in dispute are the medical then they may pay something to avoid going to the comp court over it.

Almost sounds like the case was settled with Open Medical.

they paid me my impairment rating already we never went to court for anything all wc is paying is for Dr.I never got a lum sum amount. wc payed my 10% ipairment rating weekly.

"settlement" is not a separate benerfit or amount; settlement is a reduction/negotiation of unresolved benefits/issues e.g. TTD; PD; med.
settlement is not "extra"; it's "instead of"
