“What does it mean when the final WC order grants benefits and grants termination?”

by Karl Voigt

Karl just answered this Pennsylvania workers’ compensation question on Avvo.com:

“What does it mean when the final WC order grants benefits and grants termination?

My workers compensation order says I’ve been granted reinstatement and benefits through the circulation of the order. The order then states the termination petition has been granted for a date prior to the circulation date. What does this mean?”

I have to agree that, assuming you were represented, this is a question best posed to your attorney. However, I would be most curious to know upon what facts the judge relied in terminating your benefits as of the date prior to the circulation of the order.
