Percent of Permanent Partial Disability (PPD)

Are You Facing a Permanent Partial Disability Because of Your Work Injury?

Percent of Permanent Partial Disability (%PPD) benefits are available to compensate you for a partial disability that will prevent the full use of an injured body part for the rest of your life.

Won't Payments for Permanent Partial Disability Kick in Automatically?

This benefit is not automatic. The American Medical Association publishes an annual guide listing the percentage of residual impairment, range of motion, flexibility and pain associated with each type of partial disability resulting from your injury. The Ohio BWC assigns a lump sum dollar amount based on the percentage of permanent disability you have suffered. Unless you specifically file for the award, the Ohio BWC will not automatically include this benefit as part of your claim. It is up to you to aggressively pursue the %PPD.

Don't leave this money sitting on the table. There is no good reason not to apply for this benefit. Even if you are able to return to work, you are eligible to file for the %PPD! You may be eligible to seek a lump sum award for your permanent partial disability.

Nearly every injured worker qualifies for some percentage of permanent partial disability payments. Aside from providing a lump sum award, this  benefit establishes a baseline for the extent of your injuries and applicable benefits. The %PPD gives you the added benefit of extending the statute of limitations (filing deadline) on your claim as well.
