No you do not. If you already passed the waiting period requirement then your case will not be DILWP'd (disability is less than the waiting period). If you would like to discuss your case in greater depth email me at [email protected]. If you injured your extremity (hand, foot, leg, hand, eyes, ears, etc.) then you could be entitled to a schedule loss of use award.
