Key Takeaways

•If you get hurt really bad and can't work anymore, you get money called a 'disability benefit'.
•The money you get is all the money saved in your work accounts (yours and your boss's) on the day you got hurt.
•You can only get this money if you're hurt so bad you can't work at all, ever again.

Example

Imagine you work at a factory and a machine hurts your back so bad you can't walk or work anymore.

The money you get for not being able to work is all the money in your work savings (yours and your boss's) from the day you got hurt.
