JamesMurray: You're a prime example of people who have had bad things happen to them through no fault of their own. I really feel for you. My mom suffers from back pain and it's awful. I hope you get your settlement and then some. At that point, you can reassess your finances. What's most important now is getting healthy.
I'm not an advocate for Workmens Comp because they like to *stick* it to the good guy. I've come across so many people who receive it (like my sil) and yank the chain. This whole system needs reform. People wait too long for their cases to be heard. I'm all for reforming this system and cleaning it up.
I've written to them several times to let them know my sis is receiving money AND working full-time under a different SS. Basically she's robbing the system. I've never received a reply. Very disappointing. The dr. who worked her case was arrested for fraud...and nobody really investigated the full spectrum.
