Add Comment Question: I am currently on STD, and two medical professionals have OK'd my return to work with modifications. However, my disability case worker keeps denying my return. Are they allowed to do that? Answer: They should not be blocking your ability to return, especially if you have medical support. It's possible that it may be your employer that is unable to accommodate your modifications, but it's hard to say for sure. You can ask your case manager why it's being denied when you have medical clearance to return. If they continue to give you a hard time, please give us a call at the number below to discuss Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
