Lipohypertrophy is a medical term that refers to a lump under the skin caused by accumulation of extra fat at the site of many subcutaneous injections of insulin. It may be unsightly, mildly painful, and may change the timing or completeness of insulin action.
Veterans who can't do a significant amount of work may be eligible for a 100% disability rating based on unemployability, even though they could not be rated 100% disabled under the Schedule for Rating Disabilities. The VA calls this Total Disability for Individual Unemployability (TDIU).
States use your permanent disability rating to determine the amount of monetary compensation you will receive to compensate you for your permanent impairment due to your industrial injury or occupational disease. In some states, the permanent disability rating corresponds to a certain number of weeks of wages worth of income you will be paid. For example, in California, a 10% permanent disability amounts to 30 weeks worth of wages. In other states, your permanent disability rating corresponds to an exact dollar figure. For instance, a 8% left knee impairment may equal $4,572.
