PPD is the abbreviation for Permanent Partial Disability. This is one of three types of weekly benefits that may be payable after a work accident. PPD benefits are designed to compensate the injured worker for the permanent physical impairment sustained to a particular body part or the body as a whole as a result of a work injury. They are based upon a percentage of impairment, or impairment rating, that your ATP assigns to your injury.
