Industrial injuries disablement benefit is paid to compensate those who have suffered disablement from a loss of physical or mental faculty caused by an industrial accident or prescribed disease. A loss of faculty may include disfigurement even if it does not trouble you. Your employer does not have to be at fault in any way for you to get benefit. You can claim whether or not you are incapable of work or have had any drop in earning. Benefit is payable from 15 weeks after the date of the accident or onset of the disease if your disablement is assessed at 14% or more. For some prescribed chest diseases you can get benefit if the assessment is from 1% to 13%. For occupational deafness you can only get benefit if your disablement is 20% or more.
