Why is Jeff Conaway in a wheelchair?

He is going through some major withdrawls from several different drugs that he was doing. Some of the withdrawl effects include shakes, tremors, seizures, slurred speech, and intense body pains all over that limit his mobility.

Carer adjustment payment just wondering if anyone has actually received anything from fascia or did they tell you sorry but your've had time to adjust to your child's disability sorry to say you don't?

I applied and got knocked back and now I'm in the appeals process but I don't like my chances. I have 2 children with disabilities, both under six and my family and I are still very much adjusting to their diagnosis. I don't know anybody so far that has received the payment other than the lady who spoke on the radio who had the blind son. John Howard heard her story and she was given the money. It's interesting because my 3 year old daughter is blind also but doesn't qualify. I simply don't understand it. It has been a time consuming and draining ordeal which I'm sure others have experienced. Living with disabilities is difficult enough and I don't think the government needed to waste our valuable time filling out their paper work for a big fat 'NO'.

Based on a permanent partial disability rating what is a fair medical settlement offer should you except on in a workers'compensation claim?

In Georgia, solely a PPD Rating you would calculate the Average Weekly Wage (AWW) multiplied times the maximum number of allowable weeks times the disability rating. Thus if you had an AWW of $100 and a PPD rating of 10% to your whole body (carrying a maximum of 300 weeks) you MIGHT expect to demand $3,000. If you think that is low, consider the low weekly wage as well as the small disability rating. If the AWW is $500, and PPD rating is 75%, the settlement demand might be at $150,375.00.

As none of this is legal advice and there is no way to know particulars of your case, please consider contacting a local WORKERS' COMPENSATION ATTORNEY to discuss your case. WC LAWS VERY FROM STATE TO STATE.

Just because a PPD rating has been given, doesn't necessarily mean that you will not require additional medical care or encounter other obstacles until you are truly at maximum medical improvement.
