Q: My case settled after several appeals. I was awarded lifetime medical, can they still appeal? from 05?
I am still waiting to recieve my insurance card? they have yet to pay back all the scripts I have paid out, I can't believe this is still going on
A: In some instances an employer can file an appeal or hearing based on a change in circumstances in your treatment even though you may have been awarded lifetime benefits. Also, appeals can be very lengthy and last years. It is difficult to tell from your post. I would look at the IWCC website and look at FAQs as well as appeal rules. I wish you the best of luck. I would talk to your attorney in detail about this if you have one.
