Doctor\'s letter
Hi there,
I'm looking for the correct translation of this term in English. It's a doctor's note to say the following patient is "invalido del lavoro al 45% per amputazione del braccio sinistro".
Is it to do with receiving benefits due to a disability?
Thanks for your help.

45% disabled
Or 45% unable to work.
Presumably this job involves a high degree of manual work, as in normal circumstances I would have thought a person with one arm was about 25% disabled.

: so as a translator if you lost one arm you would only be 25% disabled? Hmmm

I don't understand your comment, since your answer is the same as mine. No, as I implied in my comment above, a translator would be more than 25% disabled if they lost one arm.

you don't need to say "for work". As for your question "Is it to do with receiving benefits due to a disability?" that is irrelevant.

Industrial injuries disablement (benefit) certified at 45%
In Britain the recipient of IIDB is graded on a scale of 1-100% and usually needs at least 14% in order to receive the minimum benefit.
