Taking normal retirement while on Worker’s Comp.
While out of work on a Worker’s Comp injury and also recieving SSDI, I have become eligible for regular retirement benefits. The company is also offering a retirement enhancement to people in my job title, for which I am also eligible. Is there any reason not to accept this offer? What happens to comp-related medical bills if I retire?Will I continue to receive SSDI?

This is something you need to ask your State's dept of labor or hire or consult with your workers' comp counsel. Why? There may be tax implications or possibly other implications that impact your benefits.
