No lost time income benefit payment is due for the first 7 days of disability. Benefits are only payable for the 7 day waiting period if the disability exceeds the 14 day retroactive period. The date of the injury is not included. The lost days or days counting toward the waiting and retroactive periods do not need to be consecutive.
If the disability from the injury exists for a period as long as 14 days, then compensation for the first 7 days of disability must be paid retroactively beginning with the first day after the injury.
