TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Industrial Injury Insurance System in the UK JO - Journal of UOEH A1 - Muramatsu, Keiji A1 - Kubo, Tatsuhiko A1 - Fujino, Yoshihisa A1 - Matsuda, Shinya SP - 313 EP - 316 VL - 35 IS - 4 N2 - The Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) is a benefit for people who are disabled either as a result of an accident at work or because of a prescribed disease. IIDB does not cover the self-employed, military personnel, or certain kinds of trainees. "Prescribed diseases" are defined by the Department of Work and Pension in a list of diseases covered by IIDB. Delivery of medical services, such as the medical treatment benefit in Japan, is not included in this scheme because most medical services are provided for in the scheme of the National Health Service (NHS). Prevention Projects, such as the Follow-up Medical Examination Benefits in Japan, are also not included. Benefits for people who have Pneumoconiosis (including asbestosis) are provided in the IIDB scheme.
