Permanent disability (INAIL context)
|
|
Disability which determines a reduction of working capacity with permanent after-effects of a level equal to or greater than 6%. Benefits are divided in: capital benefit if the degree of permanent disability is greater than or equal to 6% and less than or equal to 15%; income benefit whether the degree is equal to or greater than 16%.
Before D.Lgs. n.38/2000 came into effect, the threshold for permanent disability was equal to or above 11%. In addition, as a result of the coming into force of D.Lgs. n.70/2000, an indemnity is also paid out for biological damage, intended as a lesion to one's mental and physical integrity, susceptible to a medical-legal check. The requirements needed to gain the right to the compensation are: the accident or illness have to be determined by working activity, and the level of mental and physical impairment have to be more than 6%.
