If you’ve been injured on the job there are a number of different benefits that you may be eligible for, but when you’re filing your Connecticut workers’ compensation claim it can be difficult to know which benefits match your injury or illness.
The State of Connecticut has written up a very easy to understand list of these benefits so that when you are in the difficult scenario of being hurt or sick from your time on your job you can easily look back and identify what you would be eligible for from your claim.
The list as follows:
- temporary total disability (when unable to perform ANY job)
- temporary partial disability (when able to perform SOME type of work)
- permanent partial disability (for suffering a disability to a specific body part)
- disfigurement or scarring (depending on its bodily location)
- “308a” benefits (capped loss of earning capacity)
- job retraining (vocational rehabilitation for those who qualify)
- relapse or recurrence (referring to a previous injury)
While we have covered some of these types of benefits here on this blog in the past, it is good to have a complete listing of them here. If you bookmark this post you can reference it in the event of an illness or injury.
