Hi, my name is H0rizons21! Getting injuries benefit reinstated. Not heard nothing for months.

My partner was paid Indistrial Injuries Benefit for a fixed year. He is now worse than he was when he first applied and has now reapplied to get it reinstated. He has heard nothing for months. Does anyone know if there are delays at the moment?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @H0rizons21 and welcome to the community! 😊

My initial thought is have you contacted the team to check up on your application? They may be able to give you an idea of timescales and where in the process you're application is. If you have, let me know the outcome and we can go from there.

If you haven't yet, I've added some details for the team I hope will be helpful:

I hope you don't mind but I've also updated your post title to add some detail of your question, just to help other members find you as they might have some information based on their experience that might be helpful. Hope that's ok.

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

Best wishes,

Holly.

Thank you so much for your help. I’ll update you in New Year as probably best to ring then.
