That depends on several things, like if it is caused and proven to be workrelated and what your specific state allows regarding workcomp settlements. Also you must obtain an impairment rating from a specialist (physician).

Can you file a carpal tunnel claim if you retired 6 months ago?

You will need to check with your states work comp laws to find out how long you have to report a workrelated injury. Some states it is 30 days for acute injuries and longer for repetitive use type injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Remember just because you file it doesn't mean it will be accepted as a workrelated case.
