In Matter Weinhart v Motors Holding, 245 A.D.2d 577 (1997) The Board considers the nature and degree of the claimant’s disability, vocational opportunities and corresponding salaries available to the claimant, the claimant’s work restrictions etc. to determine the loss of wage earning capacity. Thus, for the non-working claimant vocational factors are considered to determine the loss of wage earning capacity and consequentially the wage earning capacity to calculate the weekly rate.
