Summary
Case notes on AMS referrals and the restriction to one assessment…does section 39 apply?
- Published 18.02.2019
Section 39 of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (the 1987 Act) provides that a worker has no entitlement to weekly compensation benefits in respect of an injury after receiving payments for an aggregate period of 260 weeks. However, the restriction does not apply where the WPI that results from the injury is assessed as more than 20%.
Section 322A of the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 (the 1998 Act) prevents a worker from obtaining more than one assessment of permanent impairment.
