If your work-related injuries or illnesses have limited or are going to limit your ability to work, you may qualify for disability benefits. These benefits help partially supplement wages lost during your recovery time. There are multiple types of disability benefits you may be entitled to depending on your circumstances: Temporary Total Disability (TTD) applies if you are completely disabled and therefore unable to work during a short period of time while recovering. For example, if you are suffering from a bone fracture that limits your ability to work at all for two months, you may receive compensation for those lost wages. Temporary Partial Disability (TPD) applies if you are only able to work fewer hours than usual due to your partial disability. For example, if you suffered a concussion and can only work part-time, you may receive compensation for the difference in your usual paycheck. Permanent Total Disability (PTD) applies if your injuries will prevent you from ever returning to the same type of work in the future. For example, if you are suffering from a permanent, incurable back injury that limits your mobility, you may be eligible for weekly payments. Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) applies if your injuries are permanent and limit the amount of income you may be able to earn as a result of the injury but still allow you to work in some capacity. For example, if you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome that limits how many hours you can perform consecutively.
