Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit North East
If you’ve become ill or disabled due to a work-related accident or an industrial disease, you could be eligible to claim the government’s Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit in the North East.
Industrial Injuries Benefit can be claimed for all kinds of serious workplace injuries and industrial diseases, including:
• Work-related cancer
• Mesothelioma
• Asbestos-related diseases
• Occupational asthma
• Musculoskeletal disorders
• And more.
Beecham Peacock has helped countless claimants apply for industrial injuries benefits in Newcastle, regardless of the type of injury or disease.
Does personal injury compensation affect benefits?
Personal injury compensation may affect your means-tested benefits, including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Council Tax support, and others.
However, non-means-tested benefits, including Personal Independence Payments (PIP) and the Disability Living Allowance (DLA), are not affected by other personal injury payouts.
This is because compensation from benefits such as the above – and the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit – are awarded based on the nature of your injury, not your income or savings.
If you’re worried about your benefits being affected by a personal injury compensation claim, our benefit experts can help advise you on what’s best.

Personal injury benefit FAQs
-
How do I know what benefits I qualify for?
If you’re unsure which benefits you qualify for, you should speak to a qualified professional.
In the meantime, feel free to scope the benefits you could be claiming using the government’s free benefits calculator.
-
How serious does my injury have to be to receive benefits?
The seriousness of the injury is not the deciding factor in your claim. Your claim eligibility will be judged on whether or not the injury is preventing you from working.
The seriousness and life-changing repercussions of the injury can affect the amount of compensation you receive.
-
Can I claim benefits if I am still working after my injury?
Yes, you can still claim benefits if you are working after your injury – this is because some benefits may be awarded to help with other aspects of your daily life which have been changed due to the injury.
Benefits could be awarded to help ease pain, suffering, medical expenses, loss of income, rehabilitation costs, and more.
