What payments are subject to cost of living adjustments?
Cost of living adjustments are applied to periodic payments of compensation, including wage loss benefits and permanent disability awards, made continuously in respect of an injury or a death occurring more than 12 months before the date of the adjustment. If payments on a claim are started or restarted more than 12 months after the injury or death, the worker or dependant receives the benefit of any cost of living adjustments occurring in the interim period as if he or she had been continuously paid since the date of injury or death.
