It is a weekly payment made to you if you are unfit for work due to:
An accident at workAn accident while travelling (on an unbroken journey) directly to or from workAn occupational disease.An occupational disease is a disease that you contract in the course of your employment or due to the work you do, for example, from contact with physical or chemical agents. The Department of Social Protection has a list of Prescribed Occupational Diseases.
To get Injury Benefit you must be unfit for work for more than 3 days as a result of the accident or disease (excluding Sundays or paid holiday leave). However, even if you are not unfit for work for more than 3 days you are entitled to a declaration that an occupational accident occurred. This safeguards your future rights to benefits under the Occupational Injuries Benefit Scheme (as not all work accidents and diseases result immediately in illness or disablement).
Injury Benefit is taxable but you are unlikely to pay tax if it is your only income.
