Q: How do I get my my TTD benefits to start?
I am a workers comp. patient with an attorney. However my attorney is not answering my questions and has left me in the dark. My claim was accepted. My QME has recommended TTD with more tests and rest. My employer has been notified and I am out of work now. The insurance co. has begun setting the appointments for the tests that the QME recommended, but I have not received any info regarding cash benefits. I cannot contact the claims adjuster because I have an attorney. The attorney is not responding to my questions. How do I find out if, and when I receive cash benefits? How long do I wait for a benefits denial or acceptance letter? Is there something I should be doing to facilitate this? I feel like there is something missing in this process. My attorney is not answering my questions. Do I apply for SDI until my benefits start? Someone please tell me what to do? I have been out of work for two weeks now.
