Legal Question in Social Security Law in Illinois
Off work since 2005 in process of WorkComp case: carple tunnel n ulner neuropathy being disabling condition.
2006 also filled for SSDI, 2009 awarded SSDI.
SSDI paid back wages 2005to2009
BUT, (My SSI lawyer's decision) was medical evidence presented at SSDI adjudication was only my medical history of degenerative disk disease and NO carple tunnel n ulner neuropathy medical documentation presented or involved in the SSDI eligibility determination-decision.
I was awarded SSDI based on my medical history of degenerative disk disease retro to 2005 (the same date of disability of my WorkComp case) involving carple tunnel n ulner neuropathy.
My question is:
Is it in my best interest (not my lawyers best interest) Is it in my best interest to continue my WCcase even though SSDI has paid my 4 years back wages and will pay all my past n future medical expense ?
Will I end up paying back SSDI more than WC will award me ?
My WorkComp lawyer dodges this question...
Also, the SS lawyer who obtained my SSDI award was always to vaugue when addressing this concern.
Thank you !
