What is the typical duration of permanent impairment benefits payment?

The typical duration of permanent impairment benefits payment is based on the extent of the impairment measured against a structured schedule that outlines the specific benefits. These payments are generally made on a monthly basis as a reflection of the degree of impairment, which aligns with option B.

Permanent impairment benefits aim to provide financial support for individuals who have sustained long-term injuries that affect their capacity to perform work or participate in normal daily activities. The payment structure allows for ongoing support dependent on the individual’s level of impairment and does not limit the payment duration to a fixed one-year period post-accident. Such payments are typically designed to last until the individual’s situation changes or until they reach a certain milestone in their recovery or adjustment to their new circumstances. Therefore, understanding the context of these benefits reveals that option A, suggesting a fixed one-year limit, does not accurately represent how permanent impairment benefits function.
