Which weekly benefit amount is for total incapacity?

Explanation:
Total incapacity means the worker cannot perform any work and has no earning capacity. When that happens, the law assigns a fixed weekly indemnity for total incapacity rather than tying it to the worker’s wages. Among the options, the smallest weekly amount is the fixed figure designated for total incapacity, which is $15. The larger amounts would typically correspond to other situations (such as partial incapacity or different wage-based calculations) that don’t apply when there is total incapacity.
