Conversation is worth nothing in workers compensation.
Your doctor must document that you are completely unable to work due to your work caused injury. Your doctor must state this in writing. If you are not working and not receiving any temporary disability, then you need to get a note from your doctor immediately. The insurance company will likely stop paying temporary disability if any doctor releases you to return to work or declares your condition permanent and stationary. If your temporary disability checks have stopped it is very likely that some doctor has declared your condition stationary or released you to return to work.
