Original Message My case went on for two years. Recently settled and I was awarded only 12 weeks of disability benefits.

I was out of work for 18 months of those 2 years, even though I searched for sedentary work that was allowable in my physical restrictions. My advocate failed to present my work search log/history in his final position argument. Hearing Officer denied my petition for partial incapacity benefit saying she had no evidence of my work search efforts.

I've filed an intent to appeal but now I have the lawyers office of the employer/insurer calling me and telling me what I need to put in the Record on Appeal. Can they do that?

I'm having second thoughts about this and am about to withdraw my appeal. I simply don't want to deal with this evil process again. Not only do I have to battle the employer, but now I have to battle the same agency that was supposed to help me in the first place.

Any advice and /or comments would be greatly appreciated.
