Do I get workers compensation if I stop working?
- If you stop full time work because of your dust disease you may be paid workers compensation benefits even after you cease work. After 26 weeks the benefits paid are proportionate to the disability suffered. Partially disabled beneficiaries who are medically fit to return to work on a part-time or causal basis may have their compensation reduced accordingly.
