How long does payment last?

Leaflet Sections

Injury Benefit is normally paid from the 4th day of your illness or incapacity, and you may get it for up to 26 weeks.

If you are still unable to work after 26 weeks, you may qualify for Illness Benefit if you satisfy certain PRSI contribution conditions. Log on to 'www.welfare.ie' for more information.

You may also qualify for Disablement Benefit if you suffer a loss of physical or mental ability because of the accident or disease. See Section 9.

If you do not qualify for Illness Benefit and you are awarded Disablement Benefit, you may qualify for Incapacity Supplement.
