If someone has an open workman comp claim and the doctor has off work do they have to stay home and only go out for doctor appointments?

If someone has an open workers' compensation claim and their doctor has advised them to stay off work, they typically should follow that guidance to ensure proper recovery and compliance with their claim. While they may not be strictly required to remain at home at all times, it's generally best to limit activities and only go out for necessary appointments or errands. Engaging in activities that could contradict the doctor's recommendations may jeopardize their claim. Always consult with a legal or medical professional for specific advice related to individual circumstances.
