Workers' Compensation Impairment Rating Scale
The disability rating scale goes from 1 to 100, as mentioned, with 1 being unharmed and 100 being completely disabled. Once you receive your rating, the rating is multiplied by the number of weeks assigned to your injury in the state’s injury schedule to determine how long you’ll receive disability benefits.
