Yes. Your Injury Benefit payment may be suspended for up to 9 weeks if you do not observe the conditions (see section 15) while receiving Injury Benefit.
If you get Injury Benefit that you do not qualify for, you must repay it to us. The Minister for Social and Family Affairs may get the repayment by legal action or through deductions from any other social welfare payment you qualify for. Log on to 'www.welfare.ie' for more information.
Note
If you make a false or misleading statement to get Injury Benefit for yourself or any other person, you may face a fine, a prison term or both.
