The work product
Forum. WorkCover Queensland latent-onset lump sums, and section 128B
Produce. A field set for a pneumoconiosis lump sum or a terminal lump sum, with no dollar calculation.
Have ready. Diagnosis; ILO score if assessed; Age at the claim; Any earlier lump sum.
Example of the limit. Illustrative example: The ILO score and the worker's age are in the file, and the condition is not called terminal. The tool records the score and the age and leaves the section number blank. The lawyer confirms the section before a figure is discussed.
Stop and hand it back when
- A dollar figure is calculated.
- A terminal claim is prepared without the five-year point being put to the lawyer.

Checklist
- The WorkCover page says a pneumoconiosis payment depends on the score from an International Labour Organization chest X-ray and on age when the claim is made.
- The section number for that pneumoconiosis lump sum was not opened.
- If the condition is terminal, section 128B is the opened formula, chapter 4 part 2 compensation runs only until the lump sum is received, and the WorkCover page says accepting the terminal lump sum closes the claim.
- The page says a terminal injury is expected to end life within 5 years of diagnosis. The Act definition was not opened. The glossary states no period. Earlier lump sums are deducted from a later terminal payment.
