I have been at my current job for 1 month. I am having arm problems related to the work station setup. I went to a physician and he deemed it the fault of the employer and said it was directly related. My fiance and I are in the process of purchasing a house. Will this affect the outcome of the final closing process? Will workers comp keep it from happening in anyway?
Thank you so much!

You mean, if the lender decides that you might not be able to afford your mortgage payments?

We could still afford the payments under workmans comp even at 60% pay but I didn't know if that happening would hold it up or if they could keep the house from us.

I am NOT looking forward to telling my boss what the doc said. UGH

I don't know if your lender would look upon workers' compensation benefits differently from regular wages. Their primary concern, presumably, will be that you will still be able to afford the loan.
