All restrictions are removed including a brace given by previous w c doctor
A: You need to dispute the extent of injury and set up a benefits review conference. You dispute the extent of injury by filling out a DWC 45 and filing it with TDI-DWC. You can find the form here: http://www.tdi.texas.gov/forms/dwc/dwc045brc.pdf However, I recommend you consult with an attorney regarding your rights before you go to a benefits review conference ("BRC"). You need to have medical evidence that the injury was work related and an attorney can make sure that the medical records you have are legally sufficient.
