Procedure
- You can claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit by completing a claim form.
- Send this claim form to your regional disablement benefit office.
- You can get a claim form from your regional Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit centre or download a copy.
Reporting a work accident
- You can apply for a declaration that you have had an industrial accident, even if you do not want to claim any benefit right away.
- It is a good idea to apply for a declaration if you are not disabled immediately after your accident, but you think you may experience problems in the future as a result.
What to do if your circumstances change
- It is important you contact the office that deals with your payments if you or someone you claim for:
- Goes into or leaves hospital
- Goes into or leaves a care home
- Goes abroad to live or visit
- Goes into prison
- It is likely you or the person you are caring for will continue to get Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit - even if you are going abroad permanently.
- Reduced Earnings Allowance is not payable if you move abroad permanently.
- The office that deals with your payment can give you more information.

Required Documents
- Your Identity
- Birth certificate, passport, drivers licence for proof of age
- Residential Proof
- Medical Certificate
- Identity documents
You must provide original documents. DVLA wont accept photocopies or laminated certificates.
- United Kingdom (UK) digital passports
- If you hold a digital passport (the photograph and signature appear on the same page), DVLA can confirm your identity with the Identity and Passport Service. You dont have to send your passport to DVLA.
- When applying online youll be asked to provide your nine digit passport number allowing DVLA to confirm your identity.
- If you apply by post, using the D1 'application for a driving licence', write your nine digit passport number and your signature in the 'confirming your identity' section of the D1 form.
- Other types of identification
- DVLA also accepts the following documents as confirmation of your identity. Unlike the digital passport though, you'll need to send your identity document with your application:
- Full valid current passport
- Biometric residence permit (formerly known as the identity card for foreign nationals)
- UK certificate of naturalisation
- Do not send in your passport if you need it within the next month. If this is the case you should consider delaying your licence application until you can send it with your passport to DVLA.
- If youve reached State Pension age, you can provide originals of one of the following in your name:
- Recent (within three months) bank or building society statement showing your pension payment and National Insurance number
- BR2102, BR2103 or BR5899 letter confirming your eligibility for the State Pension
- UK birth and adoption certificates
- UK birth and adoption certificates can also be used, however, as they are not absolute proof of identity, they must be accompanied by one of the following:
- National Insurance card or a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions containing your National Insurance number
- Photocopy of the front page of a benefits book or an original benefits claim letter
- P45, P60 or pay slip
- Marriage certificate or divorce papers (decree nisi or absolute)
- College or university union card or school record
- If you don't have a birth or adoption certificate, or the one that you have doesnt show your full name or country of birth, contact your local register office.

- You cannot claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit if you were self-employed in work that caused your accident.
- The amount of benefit you get depends on:
- Your age
- The seriousness of your disability - assessed by a doctor on a scale of one to 100 per cent
- All benefits, pensions and allowances are paid into an account. This is the safest, most convenient and efficient method of payment.
- If you get Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit, this may affect other benefits you might receive that depend on how much money you have coming in.
