Disablement Benefit

In some cases if you are severely injured at work, either physically or by contracting what is known as an 'industrial disease', you may be able to claim a Disablement Benefit from the government.

Disablement benefit is paid if you were a paid employee at the time of the accident and your disablement is assessed at 14% or more.

For more information about the Disablement Benefit, speak to your solicitor or contact your nearest social security office.
