Would it be possible for an employed person, who had previously suffered an industrial accident which left him disabled, to receive Sickness Benefit while receiving his Disability cheque?
Yes. As of January, 1999, a claimant can receive both Sickness and Disablement Benefit at the same time. If a claimant is in receipt of Disablement benefit, and resumes work as an employed or self-employed person, then National Insurance contributions must again be deducted and paid into the Board on his/her behalf. Should he/she become ill and is unable to work for a specified period, he/she can claim, and would be paid Sickness Benefit for this period of illness.
