Basicly when they need a Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) they are looking to find how limited are you to work due to the injury or illness. Depending on such rate/percentage the pertinent authorities deciding your case will determinate if you are eligible, and in what ammount, for Impairment Income Benefits (IIBs).
I hope this helps.

Thanks , so if I'm eligible for (IIBs) is that a lump sum or monthly benefits ?

You will be getting a total of three payments per each impairment percentage rating you get.
So if you get an eighteen percent rating that would be 18 * 3 = 54 weeks of pay.
To answer your question: Is up to you to decide the type and method of payment you want (Lump sum or a monthly payment).
