If you get injured at work and have an allowed Ohio workers compensation claim for that workplace injury you may be entitle to temporary total disability compensation for your workplace injury.
You are entitled to temporary total disability under two scenarios: 1.) you cannot work at all or 2.) you have work restrictions and your employer cannot accommodate those work restrictions.
Your doctor certifies you off work completely, or releases you to work with restrictions only. Your BWC doctor certifies you in a document called a Medco-14. You submit a request for temporary total disability compensation in a form called a C84.
