If a PCSO is injured whist on duty and carrying out his lawful duty will he be entitled compensation should he be injured?
The question of compensation is based upon the facts of any given situation. There is no automatic right to compensation for anything in law. Your employer may have a compensation scheme based on death, loss of limb, eye etc and this will be set out in your conditions of service. In such cases the question of whether the injury was sustained as result of carrying out your duties and was caused as a result of undertaking such duties becomes important.
