They are not allowed to cut your hours or refuse to schedule you because you filed a worker's comp claim. It sounds like you have a claim for retaliation and wrongful termination.

If you are only released for light duty and they have no light duty work available you still should be getting comp benefits ( unless they found you medically stationary) You should talk to your comp attny re this. If they are discriminating you may have an employment claim as well.
