Do you mean med-legal? The defense pays for it. It sounds like you already received what they have in your file and provided you with termination letter. Every company is different with what they keep in an employees file. Sometimes it is only a few things like application etc.
I am not an attorney.Anything I write should not be considered legal advice.I am writing from my own personal experiences,which is not from any sort of legal background. You should consult with an attorney over legal issues. In California, if you cannot get an attorney you can consult with an I&A officer.

Yes, med legal. I didn’t notice it auto-corrected to new.
I received one from IC and one from the employer. The one that the IC gave me is completely different. The only similarity is that they both have copies of the employee handbook.
I’m starting to worry about the qme report. Can the IC call the qme if his report hadn’t been mailed out? I know they’ve sent letters to everyone that I’m trying to get help from. I don’t know if I’m imagining this or if IC really do these sort of things.
From Edd, SDI, Department of Insurance, qme, pro and Ssdi. Everyone is helpful and professional at first but after a few months, I’m being treated like regular that doesn’t leave tips at dinner. I was surprised to see this letter in the IC’s file. If I was a third party and I read that letter, I too would find it difficult to support me. Can the employer or IC send this letter to the qme? Or would I be better off writing my own letter to combat their letter?
Thanks

The IC has to send you what they are planning to send to the QME 20 days in advance and you have the right to object.

I was trying to figure out why or what the judge was expecting to hear or see from this qme. He explained labor code 4656© and said I can be mmi and be ttd after the mmi date as long as there’s a doctor that says I’m ttd.
He knows my ptp is in the mpn and he’s certified my sdi from eligible date from the doi. What was he expecting this qme eill day that will enable him to make a ruling? Surely, he should know that the qme will not write that I’m ttd from the date of injury. Isn’t the qme there to give his opinion on whether or not I’m mmi and if there is any impairment?
Can or does a qme write in his report that specifies retro- ttd dates? I What did he want to see in this qme’s report that will significantly impact his ruling? Even if this qme agrees with the first qme on the mmi date, I’m still within five years and can be ttd per the judge.
My theory is that he wants me to settle.

If it is I can try to walk you through the process on applying for the second benefit OR an I&A officer can help you.
Yes. But they only sent the first page. They downplayed it and said it wasn’t clear so I’m not sure where to go after that. I should be receiving the qme report soon so hopefully I can use that report to find an attorney.
This is in response to your last post. You wrote you received this notice but not the proof of service page. This is notification you qualify for the voucher but you need the proof of service page.

I just saw this post. I will jump on this in the morning.
I’ve been too focus on the hearing next week. The judge told me that the terminated for cause is not the reason why I’m not receiving benefits but the IC is saying that it is.
I definitely won’t have enough time to hire an lawyer. I should have just went back to the one that was waiting to see the qme report before he takes my case.
