N.Y. Volunteer Firefighters' Benefit Law § 12: Non-schedule adjustments

§ 12. Non-schedule adjustments. Notwithstanding any other provision of

this chapter, in any case coming within the provisions of sections ten

and eleven of this chapter, in which the right to benefits has been

established and benefits have been paid for not less than three months,

in which the continuance of disability cannot be ascertained with

reasonable certainty, the workmen's compensation board may, in the

interest of justice, approve a non-schedule adjustment agreed to between

the claimant and the political subdivision liable for the payment of

benefits or its insurance carrier. The provisions of subdivision five-b

of section fifteen of the workmen's compensation law shall apply in any

such case.
