What is Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit?
Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit compensates people who have become disabled as a result of an industrial disease or accident at work. You can claim it if you became deaf because you were exposed to noise at work over a period of time. This is called occupational deafness. You can also claim it if your deafness was caused by an accident at work. For more information, see our factsheet Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
