This means the injured worker can receive\u00a0up to 52 weeks of rehabilitative temporary partial disability (TPD) \u00a0where they\u00a0have\u00a0a high school education or an GED and cannot return to the\u00a0same line of work. This also applies when your\u00a0prior job is not available or the work is not within your restrictions. In that event,\u00a0the injured worker should\u00a0apply using the attached form for rehabilitative TPD benefits. The Judge cannot deny the first 26 weeks of benefits and with a high average weekly wage this can result in significant compensation benefits for the injured worker. The goal of course is to help the injured worker find a better job. Many clients can\u00a0look to obtain a higher settlement in the lump sum settlement because they will release rehabilitative TPD benefits. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joannhoffman.com\">firm<\/a> specializes in obtaining those benefits and settlements.
