If someone has been injured at work and is redeployed on the same wage banding and hours are they eligible for permanent injury benefits?
A. An applicant must be assessed as having suffered a more than 10% permanent loss of earning ability to be accepted for the payment of permanent injury benefits. In this case the employee remained on the same income therefore the assessment would have to be less than 10%. The applicant would not be eligible for permanent benfits as they have not lost any earnings.
