Is there one rate of payment for the Permanent Injury Benefits or are there varying rates?
A. A permanent injury benefit is based on two factors: the length of NHS service the employee has had (this is actual service and does not relate to how long they’ve been in the superannuation scheme) and: the banding given when the permanent reduction of earning ability has been assessed by our medical advisers. Please see our guidance booklet for further information on the percentages used for permanent injury benefits.
