Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit 


[ch 4: page 48]

If you have an accident at work, contract an industrial disease, or become disabled through your work, you may be able to claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB). You should also contact your trade union or a solicitor to advise you on the possibility of claiming compensation if an injury or illness is a result of employer negligence.
