When I started reading New York workers' comp notices, I honestly thought a few lines and a conclusion, and then I started seeing terms I did not really understand. The page I used when I hit a term I did not know was NY hand and finger SLU percentages while I was sorting out what the notice was actually saying. After a few pages, I noticed appeal timing should not be read like they mean the same thing. I quit reading every notice like it was a summary of the whole claim, I checked the document type first. I still would not assume the same phrase means the same thing in every context, because the other paperwork gives the term its context. When I started treating the record like separate little clues, I could tell what each entry was there for.
