Industrial Injury Claims:
Workplace Bullying & Psychological Trauma

Reference: CTIIC

The Industrial Injury Disability Benefit Scheme is a government scheme to provide compensation to those who become very ill because of their employment. Unfortunately, a large percentage of the claims for the ill-health effects of workplace bullying are unsuccessful. This is for a number of reasons and this one-day course will explore these pitfalls and more.

The course aims to give attendees an understanding of:
• the Industrial Injury Disablement Benefit scheme
• who can apply and for what
• why it’s important that anyone who is very ill because of bullying should claim
• the application process
• the issues specific to workplace bullying and stress-related claims
• what makes a successful claim and
• how to apply this knowledge to your own situation

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, attendees will:
• Understand whether their bullying experience has contributed to an industrial injury within the meaning of the IIDB scheme
• How to apply
• Leave with a completed application form [where attendees have enough information to do this]
• Access to JFO’s Industrial Injury forum for further support and advice those applying to the scheme

Who should attend and why?
This workshop is relevant to anyone who has suffered ill-health caused by bullying, harassment or discrimination. The Department of Work & Pensions independently investigate Industrial Injury claims and this can be included as evidence in tribunals and civil cases. There is also a financial benefit for successful claimants.
