Industrial injuries disablement benefit
Industrial injuries
disablement benefit is split into two catergories, accidents and
prescribed diseases. It is a
weekly benefit paid by the DWP and is assessed by
percentage and paid to people who have had an
accident or contracted a prescribed disease within
their employment. You will not qualify if you are
self-employed.
