employment;
??????? (c)????? permanent total i.e. totally depriving the insured person of the power to do all work.
24.??? What constitutes an ?Employment Injury??
*??????? Employment injury means a personal injury caused to an employee by an accident or occupational disease arising out of and in course of his employment in a factory or establishment covered under the Employees? State Insurance? Act.
??????? The law relating to Employment injury has been liberalised. Now, an accident arising in the course of employment is presumed also to have arisen out of his employment if there is no evidence to the contrary. Further, an accident brought about by wilful disobedience, negligence or breach of regulations etc. or an accident happening while travelling in a transport provided by the employer or while meeting an emergency is accepted subject to certain conditions, to have arisen in the course of and out of employment. Injuries suffered while under the influence of drinks and drugs take away the right of the employee to this benefit.
??????? Roadside accident caused while commuting between place of residence and workplace is also treated as notional extension of employment for purpose of death or disablement benefit.
25.??? What are ?Occupational Diseases??
*??????? Occupational Diseases are such diseases as are susceptible of being traced back to their occupational origin. These are specified under Schedule III of the Employees?

Permanent total disablement and permanent partial disablement benefits are paid in the form of pensions.

30.??? How is Permanent Disablement assessed?
*??? There is indeed no way of adequately compensating a permanently disabled employee and yet some method of determining whether an employment injury has resulted in permanent disablement and of assessing the extent of permanent damage caused by that employment injury has to be adopted for the purpose of determining the scale of compensation for the loss of earnings. This is done by evaluating loss of earning capacity with reference to general disability for all work. The evaluation is done by a Medical Board whose decision can be appealed against to a Medical Appeal Tribunal presided over by a judicial officer, with a further right of appeal to Employees? Insurance Court or directly to Employees? Insurance Court. Pending an appeal, payment for permanent loss of earning capacity as recommended by the Medical Board is made, subject to adjustment later.

A Medical Board can also review its earlier assessment of extent of disablement, if it is satisfied that there has been substantial and unforeseen aggravation of the results of the relevant injury and substantial injustice would be done by not reviewing it. Such review, however, cannot be made earlier than 5 years or in the case of the provisional assessment, earlier than 6 months of the date of assessment to be reviewed.
32.??? Is lumpsum Benefit allowed in place of Pension?
*??? Yes. At the option of the beneficiary, permanent disablement pension, where the daily rate payable is not significant, can be commuted for a lumpsum payment subject to the fulfilment of the following two conditions :?

35.??? What about vocational rehabilitation?
*??? The Corporation at its cost arranges for the vocational rehabilitation of disabled insured persons provided the disability has been assessed at above 40 percent and the? beneficiary is not over 45 years of age.

??????? After the claim to Dependant?s Benefit has been admitted, the beneficiary should submit at six-monthly intervals (with the claim for June and December), a declaration that he/she is alive and has not married/remarried, attained the prescribed age/continues to be infirm, as the case may be duly attested by the prescribed authority.
40.??? Can Dependant?s Benefit be reviewed?
*??? Yes. Dependant?s Benefit once awarded can be reviewed by the Corporation at any time if it is satisfied on fresh evidence that the earlier decision was due to non-disclosure or misrepresentation of material facts. It can also be reviewed on birth, death, marriage, re-marriage and attainment of age 18, by a claimant. The benefit can be continued, increased, reduced or discontinued.[/COLOR][/COLOR]
