I guess I will say I am one of those rare cases. I have been able to collect both, LTD and WC but not without an offset. You definately need to find out what your policy reads. In my case it read that as long as I was not able to work they (LTD) are responsibile to pay me until age 65. This...

Pikkie, Thank you for the info. I did get all these problems straightened out. Thank you for caring enough to post. Good day to ya! dancinlady55

Maze, That was my point, this can be collected but it will depend on the plan. So I did not state that in my post. Oh well, mistakes do happen and I am not a pro, just another injured worker trying to help someone else. Still no reason to be addressed in the manner which I was addressed...

Hi dbearo, I am almost afraid to attempt to respond to you due to controversey on here today and being accused of posting incorrect info. I have been called irresponsible and accused of posting false information. Remember, this will only be from what I have experienced with this same...

I posted this thread a very long time ago. I had to vanish from here due to the fact that I had to endure back to back spinal surgeries. Since that time I am just getting back into this site. Thanks to all that posted in attempt to help me and I am sorry for not getting back to this before...

Beth, I am done with you. You will not get the point either! That is you are very offensive individual and have a nasty attitude. You need to find a job doing what you do best.....insulting people! Miss Authority you are not! Now, are you done with me yet? We will just have to agree to...

cbg, I understand what your point is also and I will agree with you. Maybe I should have reconsidered the way I posted that reply and not just stated yes instead of possibly. It does depend on the circumstances. But the fact remains.....no one needs to be called irresponsible and Beth did not...

Beth, Call it what you may! No one says you have to expose your case on the internet. The poster was brief and I was brief. Is that so hard to understand? You just did not need to address me as being irresponsible. I do know for a fact that when a person begins to look into issues they will...

cbg, Who pressed your button? If it was assumed because I could everyone could.....go get your head examined. No one in their right mind would consider such a thing without checking into the situation of their own. Yes, there are different situations to every issue and no one knows what the...

Beth, First of all let me set on thing straight.....I speak only from what my experience has been when I make a statement. As for you stating my advising a poster she can receive both WC and STD being completely irresponsible is quite nasty. As for a plan being an employer-sponsored plan, that...

Hi Diane, Yes, you can receive WC and STD. I have been injured and collected both which my WC attorney handeled both. Neither is taxable money. I hope your STD carrier is not Liberty Mutual. They are putting me through hell as I am pursuing legal representation to take civil action against...

Doesn't WC realize the longer a person sits with the damage that is already done especially when they are required surgery such as spinal injuries that include damage to nerves that can be created can only cause more damage to a person's body. I know it did mine and I needed a fusion. I waited...

What is the name of your state? I am in the state of Louisiana. I have been ruled totally disabled from any type of work by 2 doctors, my neurosurgeon and comps neurosurgeon. My questions are, is there a time limit of 10 years to draw indeminity benefits and medical or and if any settlement...

Length of Time on Collection WC? Beth, Does the length of time a injured employee gets paid from WC depend on what state you are in? I am in Louisiana and ruled totally disabled. I was wondering in your response to the thread asking that question if it is a lifetime or if it varied in...

Hi, I hope for your sake that they accept liability for your accident. I fell at work and a co-worker helped me to get up. I had to sue for w/c and I fought with them for 2 years in court before getting anything. My boss and the so-worker that helped me up from the fall lied through their...
