Indemnity for the loss of working ability shall be paid to a socially insured person to whom the State Medical Commission for the Assessment of Health Condition and Working Ability (SMCAHCWA) has determined the volume of the lost working ability starting with 25 % due to accident at work or the diagnosed occupational disease. • The amount of indemnity is determined taking into account the average salary subject to insurance contributions calculated for the insured person (income obtained at work) and the degree of loss of working ability determined by SMCAHCWA. If the insured person has died due to an accident at work or occupational disease, his or her family members who are incapable of work and whom he or she completely or partially provided for, the compensation for the breadwinner shall be paid. • The amount of indemnity is determined taking into account the average salary of the deceased breadwinner and the number of dependents for which the remuneration is paid.
