Where the treatment lasts for more than six months, the allowance shall be reduced by one-half for a further period of six months or until the worker fully recovers, is declared disabled, or dies, whichever occurs first.

Article 146

The cash allowance referred to in the preceding Article shall be calculated on the basis of the last wage received (for monthly, weekly, daily or hourly paid workers), and on the basis of the average daily wage referred to in Article 57(for those paid on piecemeal basis).
