Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit - How much Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) will I get?

The amount depends on the extent of your disability and your age. For example, if you are assessed as 100% disabled, you would get £188.60 a week .

Depending on the extent of your disability, you can be paid IIDB:

• For a fixed period

• For life.

You must usually be assessed as having at least 14% disablement to get benefit, although there are exceptions to this. Disablement of 14-19% is rounded up to 20% for payment purposes.

For the current rates of Disablement Benefit, see the Gov.UK: Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit

IIDB will be taken into account as income if you receive a means-tested benefit, such as income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), Pension Credit or Housing Benefit.
