Permanent partial disabilities can be caused by either a work-related


injury or an occupational disease. PPD means that some form of
permanent impairment exists, which makes a worker unable to perform
at his or her full capacity.

Permanent partial disability is different than a Permanent total


disability, which means a person can't work at all (or is presumed to be
totally disabled because of a loss of both eyes, both hands, or total
paralysis).
Permanent Partial Disability

permanent total or permanent partial disability but

unable to work for a certain period of time.
