She had a long course of treatment which included a lumbar fusion surgery. After a long recovery, she was eventually released back to work by her primary treating physician. The claimant decided to return to her home country of Mexico, and settle her claim.  It should be noted that the Virginia Workers’ Compesation Act makes no provision for a permanent partial disability to one’s back. Additionally undocumented aliens lose their ability to claim wage benefits when released to light duty employment.
