A compensatory benefit paid to an insured worker who, after an accident, is left with a permanent impairment that reduces their ability to work. It has no waiting period (carência) and can be received while you hold a paid job. It is supplementary in nature and, as a rule, ends when you retire.
To estimate the amount and the start date of the benefit, use the Accident Benefit Calculator (Auxílio-Acidente).
