Introduction If a person dies because of an accident at work or occupational disease, Death Benefit (under the Occupational Injuries Scheme) may be paid to their surviving spouse or civil partner or dependent child. Death Benefit may also be paid if, at the time of their death, the person was getting a Disablement Pension assessed at 50% or more, regardless of the cause of death. The Death Benefit Scheme includes: - Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension - Orphan's Pension - Funeral Grant Rules Widow's Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension This is paid to the surviving spouse or civil partner of a person who died as a result of an accident at work, an occupational disease or who was getting a Disablement Pension assessed as 50% or more at the time of their death. You cannot get the pension if you remarry, enter into a civil partnership or cohabit with another person. The pension is not affected by any income you may have. Increases for qualified children are paid with the pension. The pension is taxable. A Widow's Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Pension under the Death Benefit Scheme cannot be paid at the same time as a Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Contributory Pension. Orphan's Pension This is paid on behalf of a child if the parent, step-parent or person who supported the child died as a result of an accident at work, an occupational disease or was getting a Disablement Pension assessed as 50% or more at the time of their death. The orphan's guardian should apply for the payment. Funeral Grant If the deceased person meets the conditions a special Funeral Grant can be paid to the person who pays for the funeral expenses. A Funeral Grant is not taxable. Rates Payments under the Death Benefit Scheme are paid at higher rates than a standard Widow's, Widower's or Surviving Civil Partner's Contributory Pension or a Guardian's payment. How to apply A claim for any of the payments under the Death Benefit Scheme should be made within 3 months of the date of death, otherwise you may lose some benefit.

Eolas Má fhaigheann duine bás de bharr timpiste ag an obair nó galar ceirde, d’fheadfaí Sochar Báis (faoin Scéim um Shochair Dhíobhálacha Ceirde) a íoc lena gcéile nó bpáirtnéir sibhialta marthanach nó lena gcleithiúnaí linbh. D’fhéadfaí Sochar Báis a íoc, chomh maith, ag tráth a mbáis, má bhí Pinsean Míchumais á fháil acu ar a ndéantar measúnú ar ráta 50% nó níos airde, gan aird ar chúis an bháis. Áirítear leis an Scéim um Shochar Báis: - Pinsean Baintrí, Baintreach Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh - Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra - Deontas Sochraide Rialacha Pinsean Baintrí, Baintreach Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh Íoctar seo le céile nó le páirtnéir shibhialta marthanach duine a fuair bás mar thoradh ar thimpiste ag an obair, ar ghalar ceirde nó le duine ag a raibh Pinsean Míchumais á fháil ar a ndéantar measúnú ar ráta 50% nó níos airde, ag tráth a mbáis. Ní féidir leat an pinsean a fháil má phóstar athuair thú, má iontrálann tú páirtnéireacht shibhialta nó má chomhchónaíonn tú le duine eile. Ní dhéanann aon ioncam a d’fhéadfadh bheith agat difear don phinsean. Íoctar méaduithe i leith leanaí cáilithe leis an bpinsean. Gearrtar cáin ar an bpinsean. Ní féidir Pinsean Baintrí, Baintreach Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh faoin Scéim um Shochar Báis a íoc ag an tráth céanna le Pinsean Ranníocach Baintrí, Baintreach Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh. Íocaíocht Chaomhnóra Íoctar seo ar son linbh má fuair tuismitheoir, leastuismitheoir nó duine bás a chuir tacaíocht ar fáil don leanbh mar thoradh ar thimpiste ag an obair, ar ghalar ceirde nó más duine iad a raibh Pinsean Míchumais á fháil acu ar a ndéantar measúnú ar ráta 50% nó níos airde, ag tráth a mbáis.
