Disability compensation equality for urban and rural residents

Issued: December 3, 2021

Main contents: Disability compensation shall be determined based on the extent to which the injured party has lost his/her capacity to work or his/her level of disability and the per capita disposable income during the preceding year of urban residents in the place where the court that accepted the case is located and calculated for a period of 20 years from the date of determination of disability. However, for those who are at least 60 years old, one year shall be subtracted for each additional year of age; and for those who are at least 75 years old, the calculation shall be for five years.

So, rural residents will also follow the per capita disposable income standard of urban residents.
