This is WorkCompCentral's Permanent Disability Rating Calculator based on the Permanent Disability Rating Schedule effective 1/01/2005. It assumes the physician has provided a Whole Body Impairment Rating pursuant to the AMA Guides 5th Ed. Multiple disabilities can be added after calculating the first disability.
This calculator accommodates the return to work incentive of +/− 15%. Depending on the data entered the results displayed will be either an increase or decrease in the weekly PD indemnity payment, and totals.
This calculator also accommodates the changes required by SB 863 for injuries occuring on or after January 1, 2013. You may also use the PDRS SB 863 calculator for injuries occuring on or after that date.
