I had Carple Tunnel serg. 3 years ago, diff. company than now, having problems with it. Is it still covered?
If your current problems can be viably linked to the original carple tunnel problem, then yes. Any worker's comp claim is covered for life as long as a link can be shown to the original injury. Generally speaking, if your doctor says it is, then it is. Depending on the company handling your comp claim, after three years, they may balk at the idea of reopening the claim, but in the end, they will probably have to.

maybe. With workers comp, nothing is EVER pre-approved. I'd get it treated, submit the claim, and see what happens.
