Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

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