A lot of our clients ask us what happens if their condition gets worse after their
benefits have stopped, and they need to go back out of
work?
If your condition worsens and a doctor takes you back
out of work, you can apply for additional benefits.
This is called a change in condition application. You
must do so, however, within two years from the date
the last compensation payment was made pursuant
to an Award order.
If you’ve been voluntarily paid sporadically, this does not stop the two years from
running. This is another reason why its’ very important
always to get your Award orders entered for all benefits
and time periods.
