If he lives in Norway, as indicated in the blogpost, his doctor can give him sick leave for up to 1 year. The state will compensate his salary 100%. If one is still sick after 1 year one can apply for permanent disability. Permanent disability will probably be around 66% of one’s previous salary, but no less then 25 000$ per year and no more then 65 000$ per year. One can additional apply for some special benefits like housing subsidy, child benefits etc if needed.
