Which PD range yields the $6,000 PD benefit?

• A. 0-14%
• B. 15-25%
• C. 26-49%
• D. 50-99%

Answer: (B)

Permanent disability benefits are paid using a fixed schedule that converts the impairment percentage into a lump-sum amount. For impairment in the 15% to 25% range, the schedule assigns a $6,000 PD benefit. So any PD rating within that band results in the $6,000 payout. Ratings below or above that range map to different dollar amounts on the same schedule, which is why other ranges don’t yield $6,000.
