Re: I think I have developed a allergy from the dust or maybe paint at work.

You need to be examined by an independent and/or a neutral doctor (called AME or panel QME) and if that doctor found your allergy to be related to your job then you may be entitled to compensation. As far as changing job environment employer may be able to find you an area without dust as modified work. Call us directly at 213.388.7070 if you need representation.
