  1. HI..I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR SSA AS A CSRS WORKER SINCE APRIL 1981…IN JAN.2007, I FILED FOR WORKERS COMP FOR A OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS….WC HAD ME FILE A SEPARATE CLAIM FOR EACH ILLNESS. I FILED 5 CLAIMS, AND THEY ALL GOT APPROVED…ONE ON 5-2007, 7-2007,10-2007, 01-2008 AND 11-2008….MY AGENCY TERMINATED ME ON 7-10-09 STATING THAT I HAVE BEEN ON WORKERS COMP FOR OVER A YEAR…MY QUESTION IS DOES THE YEAR START FROM THE DATE OF THE 1ST WORKERS COMP ALLOWANCE, OR DOES EACH WORKERS COMP ALLOWNACE GET ITS OWN YEAR? MY SURGERIES OVERLAPPED EACH OTHER SO I WAS H EALED WITHIN 1 YEAR FOR EACH DECISION –SO IF YOU CAN HELP ME AS TO WHEN THE CLOCK STARTS TICKING FOR A YEAR OF BEING ON WORKERS COMP OR DOES EACH APPROVAL LETTER AND APPROVAL DECISION GET THE YEAR TO HEAL? I WAS TERMINATED 07-09 FOR BEING ON WORKERS COMP TOO LONG….I HAD 5 SURGERIES IN 2 YEARS….I HAVE 28 1/2 YEARS OF SERVICE WITH A FULL RETIREMENT DUE TO ME IN 04-2011 THANK YOU CHERYL DIFRUSCIO
