Can I receive workers' compensation for an aggravation of a pre-existing condition?
If you re-injure or aggravate a prior injury or pre-existing condition, you likely will be entitled to workers' compensation benefits; however, there are limits to the extent to which an aggravation is compensable under Georgia law.
Once an aggravation resolves and is no longer the cause of your disability, i.e., you've returned to your pre-accident condition, you will no longer be entitled to disability benefits.
