RE: Disability
The issue of refusing surgery could be a bad move.

Hypithetically, an individual has a back injury and can barely walk. Surgery is recommended to improve the individuals condition. The individual refuses. The individual gets a low rating and the case is closed. Including medical.

Question, who is resposible if condition worsens????? Not WC.. That case is closed. I don't think any health insurance is going to cover it, because the condition is pre-existing.

Another thought, WC. is going to have a problem with it. They may look at the situation as, some not wanting to get better. Hence; may not give a rating at all.

Being completely disabled, is that with WC. or Social Security?????

Just my thoughts. Take Care

8-05, Micro laminectomy/disectomy. 10-05 lumbar fusion L5-S1. 2-07 exploritory surgery. 12-07 medical implant, Spinal Cord Stimulator. now receiving SSDI. Jesus died for our sins. Soilders died for our freedom.
