If the doctor who concluded that you had reached maximum medical improvement said you were fit to return to your previous job, the comp carrier won't pay any further disability benefits. If the doc said you are fit to return to limited duties and that would result in lower income than you were getting before the injury, the carrier should be paying you 2/3 of the difference. If you prevail before the worker's comp commission on your appeal, you'd be entitled to retro benefits to when they were cut off.
