Permanent incapacity income, which is one of the benefits granted by the Social Security Institution as a result of a work accident, is divided into two according to the disability rate determined as a result of the accident. If the loss of earning power in the profession is 100% as a result of a work accident, the employee is paid a permanent disability pension. However, if the loss of earning power of the insured worker is 10% or more, but below 100%, permanent partial incapacity income is paid.
Loss of earning power in the profession is taken into account in the calculation by GK. In case of permanent incapacity for work, the insured worker is paid 70% of his monthly income. Persons whose degree of permanent incapacity is not 100% are also entitled to permanent partial incapacity allowance. In the calculation of the permanent partial incapacity allowance, first the calculation is made over 100%, then the right proportion is made according to the worker’s disability rate.
If the insured worker has become dependent on someone else’s care as a result of a work accident, the allowance to be paid cannot be less than 85% of his earnings subject to premium.
When is Permanent Incapacity for Work Payable?
Temporary incapacity allowance is paid to the insured person who has a work accident for the days he cannot work. In this way, if permanent incapacity for work occurs or is detected after the temporary incapacity allowance is paid, the salary starts at the beginning of the month after the temporary incapacity allowance ends. For example, if the temporary incapacity benefit ended on 21 December, the salary will start to be paid from 1 January.
Sometimes, the result of a work accident may require direct appropriation. In such a case, the salary starts to be paid from the beginning of the following month.
When is Permanent Incapacity Income Deducted?
The person receiving the salary attends the control examination voluntarily or upon request by the institution. If there is an increase in the invalidity rate of the insured worker who received income as a result of the examination made by the relevant institutions, the income is recalculated. However, if it is understood as a result of the examination that the disability rate is below the limit that requires the payment of a salary, the income is deducted from the beginning of the month following the examination.
