How Does the Compensation Fund Pay Permanent Disability Compensation?
Lump sum – The cheque gets sent to the employer. If the employee has been dismissed, they send the cheque to the employee’s home address.
Pension – This is paid out monthly for the rest of a person’s life. The disabled employee can decide where the compensation office must send the pension, for example to a bank or building society account. Pensions are always back-paid to the date of the accident.
If employers do not send in the forms or the claims takes long, employees must contact the nearest employment office and report it.
