[67] Under Article 192(c)(1) of the Labor Code, permanent total disability includes
temporary total disability lasting continuously for more than one hundred twenty (120)
days, except as otherwise provided in the Rules. The rule adverted to is Section 2, Rule
X of the Amended Rules on Employees' Compensation, implementing Book IV of the
Labor Code, which states:
SECTION 2. Period of entitlement. (a) The income benefit shall be paid
beginning on the first day of such disability. If caused by an injury or
sickness it shall not be paid longer than 120 consecutive days except where
such injury or sickness still requires medical attendance beyond 120 days
but not to exceed 240 days from onset of disability in which case benefit for
temporary total disability shall be paid. However, the System may declare
the total and permanent status at any time after 120 days of continuous
temporary total disability as may be warranted by the degree of actual loss
or impairment of physical or mental functions as determined by the System.
