Re: Can I Keep collecting my benifits?

If your employer terminated you because it could not accomodate your work restrictions, you are entitled to a resumption of wage loss benefits. You should contact a worker's comp. attorney. I do not know where you live. I am in the Philadelphia and surrounding counties area. Call if you need additional infor. 610-668-6424.
