Miners Knee Injury

In July 2009, Osteoarthritis of the knee in miners was added to the list of diseases for which 'Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit' can be paid. Any miner or ex-miner with Osteoarthritis of the knee, who has worked underground for ten years, before 1986, may be entitled.

Time spent working underground from 1986 onwards may still count in certain circumstances, depending on the type of work done and whether it was carried out in a non-mechanized mine. Claims should be made using the Claim pack B1 100PD claiments, claiment may have to undergo a medical examination.
