This should have been fine, because we had 30 days before the effective date to submit retroactive claims. We understood that the retroactive period changed in 2009 from 27 months to 30 days, but we also understood that period changed earlier this year.
Easy bruising sometimes indicates a serious underlying condition, such as a blood-clotting problem or a blood disease. See your doctor if you: Have frequent, large bruises, especially if your bruises appear on your trunk, back or face, or seem to develop for no known reasons. Have easy bruising and a history of significant bleeding, such as during a surgical procedure.
What is easy bruising? Easy bruising is the frequent appearance of purple, brown or red discolorations on your skin. Skin bruising from bumps, sprains, bites or trauma is normal and indicates that underlying blood vessels are broken or bleeding. This bleeding can take the form of pinpoint dots (petechiae), larger, flat areas (purpura), or broad areas of bruising (ecchymosis). Bruising can be a concern when it is not related to injury or it seems disproportionate to the injury or trauma that occurred.
