How long are line of duty disability benefits paid out?

Line of duty disability benefits are typically paid out for a duration of 7.5 years. This period is established to provide financial support to individuals who are injured while performing their duties, allowing them to focus on recovery without the added stress of financial burdens. This duration reflects a balance between offering substantial support for recovery while also encouraging rehabilitation and reintegration into normal life.

The specific timeline is designed to align with rehabilitation efforts, reflecting the understanding that recovery can vary significantly among individuals but often requires an extended period of support beyond the initial months post-injury.
