Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

employer is cancelling my benefits

When I first file my claim it was ignored. After pushing my claim I have been written up, my director refuses my doctors time off slips so I am not able to receive my long term short term benefits, and I have been ordered back to work against against doctors orders. I have been refused treatment which was suggested by a QME and an AME. I have just receive a letter stating my primary benefits will be cancelled in February. I work for the government and am having loads of trouble seeking help in my area.

Re: employer is cancelling my benefits

If your treating physician recommended that you have to be taken off work due to your disability, you are entitled to receive disability benefits until your doctor releases you. You may not be terminated for insubordination if you are on disability. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a consultation about your case.
