Ppd
I was injured 8 years ago. I had an anterior cervical discectomy w/fusion as a result . I am still under a dr. care. About 2 years in I received a letter from my work comp carrier notifying me they were requesting an IME. They made an appt. with a local psychologist and told me what date & time to be there. In this Dr�s report he stated �quote� �current impairment rating, using the AMA Guidelines, Fifth Edition, would be approximately 25% to the body as a whole. This rating is a result of chronic pain and her depression and does not include any physical impairment that might be applied by her physician.� My physician later gave me an impairment rating of 28% to the body as a whole.
My attorney (which I no longer have) said my disability was 53% to the body as a whole.
What is my payable disability rating? 28% or 53%? And would that be % of 300 or 400 weeks? If this is all owed me where would I find my backup.

You are entitled to alot more than your PPD rating when you go to settle your claim. Please call me to help. I can get a doctor to combine the two ratings to come up with the true PPD rating in your case. There is no charge to call. 404.444.5797.
