Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

If you get a new job, you are not disable anymore and you either lose your benefit or will be adjusted depends on the how many hours you be working. Try benefits under SDI(State disability insurance). Feel free to call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.

I think Mr. Moheban is referring to total temporary disability benefits. You can certainly work and still receive PPD, but if your new work duties are more strenuous then the PD restrictions placed on you the carrier may try to get the PD percentage reduced.

YES, YOU CAN EARN WAGES AND Keep PERMANENT DISABILITY checks!!!

Permanent Disability payments are just a supplement to working wages for a person less able to compete in the job market.

People are expected to work while they get the Permanent Disability checks.

i[f you get 'total temporary disability' payments then you medically cannot work. these are completely different from 'Permanent" Disability payments!!!]

IN ADDITION: when the employer doesn't 'accomodate' a permanent disability, you need to notify the adjuster and request (all in writing, of course) the statutory 15% INCREASE for the employer's failure to accommodate your permanent restrictions.
