Greetings young wise one,
I have a situation that may go no where, or it may go somewhere.
My wife has two jobs, One as a school bus driver and the other is work from home. Doing computer work and dispatching.
Today she slipped while getting of the bus and damaged her wrist. She went to the dr and was given a 5 lb. lifting restiction for the hand. After returning to work she was sent back to the dr. and was given a 25 lb. lifting restiction. That way she can still do her job.
I already spoke to her and explained my disappointment in the restiction being lifted.
All may be fine and the wrist heals (and she is not in pain) and there are no issues.
My question is based on a worse case senerio. Lets say that the wrist does not heal right and she has to be out of work for sometime.
If she has to file a cliam. Can she still do her at home work, provided that she does not violate the medical restriction and collect from WC??
I have tried to locate the information from the Texas DWC and am not having any luck.
Thank You
