How to claim benefits for industrial injuries


The TUC has produced a useful short guide to the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) Scheme.


A worker who has been injured or contracted a disease that is caused by work may be entitled to make a claim for IIDB. This is separate from claiming compensation through the courts.


The guide covers questions such as Who can claim?, What diseases are covered? and How do I claim?


The guide also covers how much is paid out in IIDB along with other routes available to claim compensation.
