The employee retires for reasons other than the injury. MMI is the date when your injury has improved as much as the doctor says is possible. Other events occur that can be legal reasons to stop benefits. The employee refuses a job consistent with an approved vocational rehabilitation plan, or if a vocational rehabilitation plan has not been filed, but the employee refuses a job offer within the physical restrictions. TPD pays two-thirds of the difference between the old wage and the new wage.
Some injuries are permanent.
For example, if you loss a finger, you will never regain the function of that finger. After you reach maximum medial improvement, your doctor will rate your percentage of disability based on Minnesota s disability tables. The percentage of disability determines the amount of PPD benefits payable. This is set out in a permanency schedule. PPD is paid in weekly amounts.
