industrial injuries accident was created by jaxw17
Hi
my husband has had a serious accident at work he fell 15 foot when a safety rail gave way. He had multiple injuries but the enduring one is that he has ruptured a muscle in his shoulder. And he has lasting pain in hip.
He is to be operated on for the shoulder but has already been told that it will be 9 months before he can use it and the likelyhood is that it will not be right after and he will never be able to lift over 20kg again. there is also a 1 in 3 chance that it will rupture again. His occupation is an engineer.
Work sent him the forms to fill in for the industrail injuries benefit.
We have just got a letter for him to attend an ATOS medical on Tuesday. I am on DLA and know what these are like !!!!!
I must admit I dont know anything about this benefit or what to expect at the medical can anyone help me has anyone any knowledge of this benefit
Thanks
