Your Ohio Work Comp Claim is allowed, but now you find out that you have additional conditions or flow through injuries – How can you add the condition(s) to the claim? Read on . . . . There are several ways to amend a claim allowance in a claim that is already allowed at the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
If you failed to mention a body part in your application for Ohio Workers’ Compensation Benefits (FROI-1), you have two (2) years to file a motion with the OhioBWC to seek allowance for that body part. You will need medical evidence which diagnoses the condition and relates it to the work injury.
If you have a flow through condition, one which came into existence as a result of an allowed claim condition, you can file a motion with the OhioBWC to add the condition to the claim as a flow through condition. For example, you injured your knee and because of the resulting limp, your back, hip, other knee, etc. becomes affected due to the altered gait. With medical evidence supporting the diagnosis of the “flow-through” condition related to the work injury, a motion can be filed seeking the additional condition.
If you find yourself in this situation (your doctor tells you that you need to add a new condition or you just ‘know’ that you have something to add to the claim), you need to contact a Board Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist Attorney. In some instances there are strict time limits. Don’t lose your benefits. You can’t do a workers’ compensation claim yourself. The BWC has attorneys and your employer has attorneys, all to protect their legal rights (and to shut down your claim). You need an attorney to represent your legal interests.
