Until you are able to return to work your TTD continues. Since your return to work requires the restriction of no driving and transportation has not been made available, you should still be getting TTD. Call the employer again and if they do not fully respond withn a few days call the claims adjuster handling your file and they will contact the employer
You need to be put on TTD benefits. If the insurance company play games and deny benefits, then you need to retain an attorney to file WCAB application and claim for benefits for your temporary and permanent disability benefits. You also can apply for State disability benefits through EDD if insurance company deny your claim. Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
