In plain words

Once the injury is stable, go for a work-capacity assessment (劳动能力鉴定), and the grade converts directly into money. The one-time disability allowance is worked out on your own wage: Grade 5 is 18 months, Grade 6 is 16 months, Grade 7 is 13 months, Grade 8 is 11 months, Grade 9 is 9 months and Grade 10 is 7 months. Before the assessment result comes out, don't sign an agreement to "settle it once and for all."
