Legal Answer
Contact your Workers' Compensation insurance carrier. If the letter gives no reason for her being off work, and she does not claim it is work related, then it is an off duty injury/illness claim and can be treated as such. You can contact the Dr. to get a clarification. Check to see if the shoulde injury claim is really closed--does she agree that she had fully recovered?
