Federal comp settlement ?? help!
Can anyone tell me if a Back injury is exempt from an award settlement within Federal compensation? I was injured in Feb of 2003 and have been on compensation ever since (100% disability). I have had 2 back surgeries, have two more scheduled with a total of 6 herniated discs. When this is over I hope to take my retirement from the post office along with my scheduled award. I was just told back injuries are not eligible for an award. I live in Western New York and can't find a lawyer who will touch a federal comp case. Although I have leg and arm pain, the doctor is hoping to alleviate that with the next two surgeries.
