hi everyone
I am looking for some help with workers comp. I am in a highly unusual position, whereby I am British and living in the UK, but covered by workers comp privately (long story). My income benefits are provided by a private insurance company at a rate that matches the rate paid in the state where my American employer is registered.
I have only just been made aware that workers compensation can extend to equipment and adaptations et cetera. The insurance company have refused repeatedly to share with me the policy document for me to be able to understand what I'm entitled to, so I am kind of left in the dark guessing. I'm told I need medical proof that I need equipment like a wheelchair or an adapted vehicle. I don't know how I could get a doctor to write a letter like that. I cannot get a lawyer either in the UK or US because of the international dimension of the case.
If you got workers comp, can you tell me what other equipment and adaptations you got and how you were able to get it?
Sorry for the long message, and many thanks!
