After injuries stabilize, get a work-capacity assessment; disability grade maps directly to money
Grade ABig benefitMoneyFreeSome timeNo willpower
After injuries stabilize, a work-capacity assessment turns grade directly into money. The lump-sum disability benefit uses your own wage: grade 5 — 18 months, grade 6 — 16 months, grade 7 — 13 months. Grade 8 — 11 months, grade 9 — 9 months, grade 10 — 7 months. Do not sign a “one-time settlement” agreement before the assessment result is out.
- Cost
- No cost. One work-capacity assessment process; expect waiting time before and after.
- Benefit
- The lump-sum disability benefit converts disability grade into months of your own wage, paid once. Grade 5 — 18 months, grade 6 — 16 months, grade 7 — 13 months of your wage. Grade 8 — 11 months, grade 9 — 9 months, grade 10 — 7 months of your wage
- Notes
- Grades 5 and 6 keep the employment relationship; you remain the employer's employee and receive a monthly disability allowance. For grades 7 through 10, when the contract ends or you terminate it, two more lump sums apply. A one-time work-injury medical subsidy from the fund and a one-time disability employment subsidy from the employer; amounts are set by the province. Do not sign a “one-time settlement” before the assessment result is out. Work-injury prostheses, wheelchairs, and similar assistive devices must first be confirmed by the work-capacity assessment committee; see Section 33, Item 7 (ask the county disabled persons' federation for the full picture).
