Permanent Total Disability Assessment
A written opinion on whether a claimant is permanently and totally disabled from gainful employment, measured against the permanent restrictions on file, the claimant’s work history and what the Nevada labor market will actually hire.
What this involves
A permanent total disability assessment answers one question: with the permanent restrictions now on file, is there work this claimant can realistically be hired to do? We interview the claimant, verify the work history and education against the record, measure what remains against the restrictions the treating physician has given, and test that against real openings and real hiring practices in the Nevada labor market rather than against job titles on paper. Age, education, language, transferable skills and the physical demands of the available work are all weighed. The conclusion is stated plainly, with the reasoning traceable back to the record, because it is written knowing an adjuster, a hearing officer or opposing counsel may read it.
Performed under NRS 616C.435. Eligibility for vocational rehabilitation services is governed by NRS 616C.590 and the written assessment required by NRS 616C.550.
