Comment on this
The person concerned claimed occupational injury benefit in respect of an accident at work on 31 January, 1981. Pending investigation of his claim he has been paid disability benefit as an interim measure from 5 February at the maximum appropriate rate. A cheque paying benefit to 23 February issued on 24 February 1981. Pay-related benefit has issued from 16 February 1981, thirteenth day of incapacity. There was no delay in payment as one certificate only has been received from him. Payment issued on confirmation from his employer that he was still absent from work through illness. He will be notified of the result of the investigation into his title to injury benefit.
