Other benefits linked to ill-health and disability

There are also two other current benefits linked to employment related ill-health and disability, Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit and Constant Attendance Allowance. However, these both depend on the claimant having either had an accident at work or having contracted an “industrial disease” — one of more than 70 prescribed diseases officially recognised as work-related by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council. The diseases and conditions are listed in Industrial injuries disablement benefits technical guidance, which is available on the government website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-injuries-disablement-benefits-technical-guidance.
