The short answer is maybe.
Yes, you MAY be able to collect disability benefits from social
security. Permanent partial
disability, or PPD, is a term used by those who have recovered from their injury
but are left with some level of impairment that is not expected to improve
significantly.
The workers' compensation definitions of disabled really
don't carry any weight with Social Security.
If you currently receive PPD or if you settled with your worker's comp
carrier for a lump-sum payment for PPD, you may wonder if you qualify for
Social Security disability benefits.
These are questions that will affect the rest of your life!
