If the medical evidence supports a finding of permanent partial disability,
then you should be compensated with a lump sum settlement for such disability.
The PPD rating provided by the treating physician is not binding on you
or the ALJ, and, if you have an attorney, your attorney may have you see
another doctor to get a second opinion or to conduct an independent medical
examination (IME).
