Took my workcomp over 2 years, and was a month short of trial b4 they caved in and paid because they knew we were going to win...but my case was going to establish legal precedent for MT, because there had never been w.c. case for voice injury.

Repetitive stress injury is an established and mature body of case law in every state of the union...you only need keep meticulous records, and you DO have the right to start the legal process yourself, i.e. making sure that you meet the filing deadline for any cause (generally two yrs for wc from date of original injury.)

I don't know about the 30 day thing, It was not until 3 months after I lost the ability to speak above a whisper that I even started a workcomp case, and that was originally just to pay for the doctor bills, which were mounting with every visit to the next specialist who told me they had never seen anything like it....a phrase you never want to hear from your doctor, lawyer, or mechanic!

Sound like you are on the right track, you must exhaust ALL administrative/agency proceedings b4 a civil process can start... make sure you keep records, and do your original filing yourself...
