FAQs
Q: My employee is presently receiving Disablement benefit from the National Insurance Office, but he was recently injured again on the job. Can he claim a second Disablement benefit?
A: Yes! Your employee can indeed claim a second disablement benefit. Where a person who is presently receiving a Disablement benefit suffers a second employment injury, he shall not be entitled to receive Injury benefit and Disablement benefit for the same period, but in assessing his degree of disablement in connection with the second or subsequent claims to Disablement benefit, the total degree of disablement arising from all the relevant injuries or diseases shall be assessed and he shall be entitled to Disablement based on that assessment.
