scheduled or whole body injury?

scheduled or whole body injury?
I am from Kansas and in 2005 injured my knees.

My back has since been added to my claim and approved by the insurance company.

In Kansas the knees are a scheduled injury, with my back added to my claim would this now be a whole body injury?

I have research the department of labor web site and have not found any information that will answer my question.

Thank you
Bummer Knees

Any treatment I have received for my injury has been by my private insurance. Once my back was added and approved to my claim wc says treatment will not benefit me.

RE: scheduled or whole body injury?
Generally when there are injuries to multiple areas a whole body rating is used to combine and produce a single rating.

Thank you 1171 for your answer.

I have court later this month, trying to add the carpal tunnel to the claim.
I do have medical test and a letter from the doctor supporting my claim.
