Re: time lost

If your doctor says you could not work then it will be excused and possibly your time should be compensated. An unrelated condition is not covered generally, but if its existance will impede or pevent recovery from the woirk injury it MAY be covered, but it is not a definite right. If you need further assistance you can post your number and I will get back to you.

Best of Luck!
