If an NHS employee sustained an injury or contracted a disease in the course of their NHS employment on or before 31 March 2013, they may be eligible to apply for NHS Injury Benefits.
The NHS Injury Benefits Scheme changed on 31 March 2013. Members who were eligible for NHS Injury Benefits can still access the Scheme until 30 March 2038 under new transitional arrangements.
Under these transitional arrangements the NHS Injury Benefits Scheme will continue to provide:
- Temporary Injury Allowance (TIA)
- Permanent Injury Benefit (PIB)
- death benefits.
We'll process injury benefit applications received up to and including 30 March 2018. Only injuries sustained or diseases contracted on or before 30 March 2013 will be considered.
We'll process injury benefit applications received by 30 March 2038 for applicants who can provide evidence of a delayed onset of their symptoms.
