Asbestos Disability Benefit

The Department of Work and Pensions, (DWP) offers valuable advice on benefits payable to those who have developed certain work related diseases.

The Industrial Injuries Scheme provides non-contributory no-fault benefits for disablement because of an accident at work, or because of one of over 70 prescribed diseases known to be a risk from certain jobs.

We have created a link below to the list of diseases covered by Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. It is not a complete list of jobs and you should not be put off claiming just because your job is not listed. If in doubt, claim.
