What is the rate of payment for Disablement Benefit?
Disablement Benefit is paid based on the assessed degree of disability; no payment is made for an assessment that is less than one percent. If the medical referee assesses the degree of disablement resulting from the industrial accident at between one (1) and 100 percent, benefit would be awarded as follows: 1. If disablement is assessed at between one (1) and 24 percent, a Disablement Grant of between $100 and $2,400 would be awarded; that is, $100 for each degree of disablement; 2. If the disablement is assessed at 25 percent or more, the assessment would be rounded to the nearest decimal point and the award would be a one-time cash grant of between $500 and $1,000 as well as a monthly disablement pension. For example: i. a 32 percent assessment, gives a 30 percent Disablement Pension; ii. a 45 percent assessment, gives a 50 percent Disablement Pension; and iii. a 76 percent disablement assessment, gives an 80 percent Disablement Pension.
