If I understand what you are asking correctly, you want to know how long you have to appeal the 6/1/2014 decision approving the Compromise and Release Agreement that settled the wage loss portion of your workers' compensation claim. Assuming that is the question, the appeal period is 20 days. At this point, the workers' compensation carrier would not have any ongoing obligation for workers' compensation wage loss benefits. You appear to have ongoing medical benefits which could continue for the rest of your life. Depending on the language used in the previous compromise and release you may or may not be able to expand the description of injury beyond what is set forth in that document.
