How long are temporary injury benefits paid for?
A. Once an application has been approved for temporary injury benefits these can continue to be paid for as long as the employee remains on sick leave. Once they have returned to work or had their employment terminated then payment will stop. Although we have had temporary awards in the past that have been paid for more than 5 years, we will write to NHS employers every year after an award has been made to remind them that it is temporary award.
