The NEL is based on a percentage of impairment rating- a rating determined by WSIB. If this rating is high enough, it may entitle you to another benefit- the personal care allowance.
If your impairment rating reaches 60%, WSIB has the obligation to pay a personal care allowance. This is a monthly payment meant to allow the worker to hire outside help to assist with regular life tasks- e.g. taking care of the house- snow shovelling, house cleaning, cooking, etc.
Although these benefits are not available to most workers, they can be a significant payment if you qualify.
