The records of the department do not show any recent claim from the person concerned in respect of occupational injury benefit or disablement benefit. In August 2007, the person concerned claimed occupational injury benefit in respect of a prescribed disease for which he had been awarded occupational injury benefit under a previous claim made in October 2005. The claim made in August 2007 was disallowed by a Deciding Officer and this decision was upheld by an Appeals Officer. However, the claim was treated as a claim for illness benefit and payment was made on that basis. Under the disablement benefit scheme a life gratuity of €4,554.00, representing a 5% loss of faculty, was paid. The person concerned is currently in receipt of invalidity pension.
