Units in this building

I&A
Information & Assistance
Free help for unrepresented injured workers — forms, procedure, and benefit questions.

No Disability Evaluation Unit here, so a formal rating on a Goleta case is prepared at another office — which adds time. You can compute the rating yourself from the report in the meantime and know the number before the DEU’s arrives.

Is there a Disability Evaluation Unit at the Goleta office?
No — Goleta houses Information & Assistance only, so DEU ratings for cases venued here are prepared elsewhere. You can compute the rating yourself in the meantime.
