Question:
If I Am Permanently Unable to Return to Work, Am I Also Entitled to Disability Retirement Benefits through my Place of Employment?Answer:
We just recently settled a claim for a woman who was a long-time employee of one of the airlines in this country. She sustained a serious back injury and she was not able to return to her job. In the course of settling that claim, she had a lot of questions regarding what she was entitled to receive going forward. If she settled her workers’ comp claim on the basis of her inability to return and perform her work at the airline, was she also entitled to claim her pension. The answer is, in her case, yes, it was.
Just because you’re resolving your workers’ compensation claim and you’re not able physically to perform the work, it doesn’t mean you’re unable to take with you that pension that you have worked very hard for so long. If you have a question about your benefits and entitlements in retirement in conjunction with a Workers’ Compensation claim, please give us a call. We can help you understand it better.
