Meg, workers comp is not designed to get disability payments to cover all of your disabilities unless you don’t qualify for Medicare. All it’s good for is if you go back to work . Workers comp is a minor disability payment indicating you expect to return to work. You are definitely disabled and need a decent income to survive.
I’m in my 60’s and disabled..
They make disability payments until you reach 65 or whatever it is higher now.

I qualified at 60 and when I reached 65 they dropped my SSDI to regular Social Security. But my disability did not disappear. They don’t cut you of and your plan B is usually your payment and it rises once a year. Right now all I pay is around $175.00 a month and it goes up yearly very little. Direct Deposit you won’t realize the difference in your check because they also raise your monthly payments based on the cost of living. All of this may not pertain to you but I wasn’t at the age of retirement before my disability kicked in.and now I’m 71 and have received disability payments with no employer assistance. Just a thought. Do not transfer to an advantage plan. You don’t need a limit on your payment or an existing pre condition preventing you from qualifying. High monthly payments that rise every year eventually costs to much.

Medicare advantage plans are taking care of shareholders and not you. I collect a monthly payment of $1800 to $2,000 a month.Good luck

I wish I knew when I signed up this was a disadvantage not an advantage for me
