Why does Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) go unclaimed?
Many people who could claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) do not do so. The number of people who claim for the allowance is much lower when compared to other benefits and allowances that are available.
So why does not everyone claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) ?
Some of the reasons many people do not claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit are as follows:
People do not realise that they might be entitled to claim. It might be that you are still capable of work
Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) is lesser known than other benefits allowances. Most people have heard of Incapacity Benefit or Disability Living Allowance (DLA). The possibility of Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) may have been overlooked
You may have been in contact with a health professional. That particular person may be inexperienced or too busy to give you the best advice. This may lead to an unfair refusal, a reduced payment or wrong advice which may stop some genuine applicants starting their initial application
Having worked in an industry, you might never have filled out a claim form before. This can lead to a form being completed incorrectly or, in the worst case, not at all
Staff at the DWP (previously known as DHSS/DSS) might have limited understanding about how you (or someone you know) are actually feeling. You may not wish to disclose your true circumstances for fear of embarrassment
A health condition can make it impractical and/or uncomfortable. It can even stop a person from making a claim for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) . For example, severe pain can sometimes leave a claimant not in the best frame of mind to be completing a claim form adequately.

What if I have been refused Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB)?
Due to the inefficiencies of certain "officials" it has been known for refusals to be over-turned when the claim has been re-presented in a professional and methodical manner (i.e. by a professional company or consultant).
Many times, the refusal decision is based on an incorrect presentation of certain information by the claimant or by an incorrect assessment from the particular benefits office/r in question.
We have found 40% or more of "refused claims" have a very good chance of being overturned.
Needless to say, this issue is very important.
Full claim acceptance not only over-turns a previous refusal, but it also means you will probably be eligible for back-payments from the point of an initial claim.
This alone could often lead to thousands of pounds in back-payments due to you.
