Re: what year
My current understanding of DC workman's compensation benefits is that the 500 week limitation applies only to permanent partial disability(PPD)income benefits and that a worker who has been determined to be totally and permanently disabled is still entitled to receive benefits for the duration of his disability which could be for the rest of his life.
