Assuming that the qme did find you td, your lawyer should file for an expedited hearing immediately on the issues of td, 5813 penalties, and attorney's fees.
Good luck
in rereading your question, I didn't notice that your attorney filed for a Msc. Was your case initially denied until the qme found your injury compensable? If so, you might be entitled to a lump sum of td. There are a few things that your lawyer might be able to do, but without anymore information, it's impossible to advise.
Good luck
