Based on the facts that you have given, you are only entitled to 104 weeks of temporary disability benefits, total. Once a physician says you are permanent and stationary, the insurance company only has to pay permanent disability advances based on a reasonable estimate of your permanent disability.

You may wish to apply for State Disability Insurance benefits from the Employment Development Department. Just make sure you tell them that you have a work-related injury. You can also apply for Social Security Disability.

In the meantime, make an appointment to see your attorney face-to-face to get your questions answered.
