Benefit increment for those with a special 100% disability (100%+)
A 40% increment to the monthly benefit is paid to hostile-action victims with a special 100% disability of the following types: paraplegia; double amputation (both legs or both arms); total blindness (in both eyes); severe burns (100% or more); those with severe functioning disorders due to nervous system damage; or a leg amputation with additional injuries to both arms.
Benefit increment for those disabled by hostile actions who reach retirement age
A disabled hostile-action victim who reaches retirement age (and who is not receiving a benefit for the indigent disabled or a disability benefit increment for those with a special 100% disability) is entitled to a 10% increment to the monthly benefit that he already receives.
Benefit increment for disabled people age 55 and over
A benefit increment is paid to those with a 50% or higher degree of disability when they reach the age of 55, and to those with a 40%-49% degree of disability when they reach the age of 57. The amount of the increment is calculated in percentages of the benefit paid to a person with a 100% disability, and is increased according to the person's percentage of disability and age.
