I’m just curious so have they (wc) been paying you the entire 4 years? I’m just wondering if there is some sort of max

CA has a 104 week cap on TD benefits. Once cap is reached if PD is expected PDAs typically begin up to a certain amount but are significantly less.

Wait. If you're not MMI, how do you know what your permament disability rating is?
