What is Permanent Injury Benefit (PIB)?
Permanent Injury Benefit (PIB) is a financial benefit available to NHS employees who suffer a permanent reduction in their earning ability of more than 10%. It is designed to provide financial assistance to NHS employees who have suffered a permanent injury, illness or disability as a result of their NHS employment.
PIB is available to NHS employees who have suffered a permanent reduction in their earning ability of more than 10%. This can be due to a physical or mental injury, illness or disability that has been caused by their NHS employment. It can be paid if the number of hours the employee can work is permanently reduced; if they have to change to a permanent lower paid job; or if they have to leave their NHS employment.
In order to be eligible for PIB, the employee must have been employed by the NHS for at least two years prior to the injury, illness or disability. The employee must also be able to provide evidence that the injury, illness or disability was caused by their NHS employment. This evidence can include medical reports, witness statements and other relevant documentation.
Once the employee has been approved for PIB, they will receive a weekly payment for the duration of their injury, illness or disability. The amount of the payment will depend on the employee’s age, the severity of the injury, illness or disability, and the amount of time the employee has been employed by the NHS.
PIB is an important benefit for NHS employees who have suffered a permanent injury, illness or disability as a result of their NHS employment. It provides financial assistance to those who have been unable to continue working in their NHS role due to their injury, illness or disability. It is important to note that PIB is not a replacement for a salary, but rather a financial benefit to help the employee cope with the financial impact of their injury, illness or disability.
