I had surgery in 1995 this resulted in getting a level one on back ability. I had another injury in 2003 but was kept at a level one as it was stated that there was no significant change but I went from being able to lift 50 pounds to 30 pounds and now 10 pounds.

Question is id there any documentation on the requirements to be one each level? I am not sure if I am stating the question right so I hope that someone understands it. I did a search on google but could find anything on this.

Have you tried finding your answer on the Division of Insurance for your state?

Sorry I can not give you any assistance, but I have after 3 years of fighting the system for my hubby finally went to their website to see what I could find out and it has some very interesting reading.

Not sure what you state your in but they should have a Division of Insurance.

Each state has it's own laws on which guidelines to use to rate impairment.
many use the AMA guides.
you should talk to your doctor about which guidelines they used to do your rating and what the difference are.
