[QUOTE="705red, post: 827265, member: 5229"] Wow it seems that they treat us all bad. Many of you know that I hurt my back in Dec 09 when I opened my back door on my UPS van at the first stop and a 50lb crate came falling at me. I was put on full comp at XMas whne they were done using me for peak on light duty. They never denied the injury and payed me until Feb when they cut me off, My lawyer was able to get it straightened out by April. But that was 2 months without a check, thank god I had a savings account. Fast forward until Septemeber of 09 after 3 epidurals and seeing the IME who said I needed surgery but could return to full duty until I scheduled the surgery. I went down with a hernia because UPS put me back to full duty. Went back on full comp OCt 1st and had Hernia surgery within weeks no problem there. I actually think they realized that they had screwed up big by sending me back. Had to see the IME again and this time he still said a discetomy but now I cant work. Why is that????? Anyways I had the back surgery Feb 23rd of this year. My Dr requested 18 therapy vists and that was denied and they approved 16. BS Now im doing 1 more month of therapy and than 1 month of work conditioning and I am hoping to be back the first or second week of June. Alot of the problems came through LM but they are directed by UPS's risk management dept. They make the calls on light work, comp and approve things. On a bright note if there is one here, by them returning me to work my medical and pension payments bank started over again. If not I would have been paying Cobra since january and would be recieving no pension payments.
