Introduction From 1st August 2014, the Recovery of Certain Benefits and Assistance Scheme enables the Department to recover the value of certain illness-related social welfare payments from compensation awards made to persons as a consequence of personal injuries claims. The benefits are recovered from the compensator and not from the injured person. Rules Where a compensator intends making a compensation payment to a person as a consequence of a non-fatal personal injury, the compensator must pay the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection an amount equal to the illness-related social welfare payments that have also been paid as a consequence of that personal injury. However, where the compensation payment arises from a court order or an Injuries Board assessment, the obligation to pay the recoverable benefits and assistance is limited to the total amount of damages assessed in relation to loss of earnings or profits. A compensator can offset the amount of recoverable benefits and assistance paid to the Minister against the amount of compensation for loss of earnings or profits, but not against any other element of the compensation claim. The payments that are recoverable are: Please Note: The benefits are recovered from the compensator, not from the injured person. Please refer to the Operational Guidelines for full details of the scheme and relevant legislation How to apply A compensator must apply for a statement of recoverable benefits on the RBA01 application form before making a compensation payment to an injured person. The form should be downloaded from this site, printed on both sides of the page, completed and posted to the address below. To enquire about securely emailing the form to the Department, or any other query, please forward a request via the Ask a Question option in the "Online Services" facility on this page. The Injuries Board must also apply for a statement before issuing an order to pay under the terms of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003. The statement will issue within 4 weeks from the date of receipt of the application. A copy of the statement will also issue to the injured person or their solicitor/representative. Completed application forms should be posted to:- Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Recovery of Benefits and Assistance, Dublin 1, Ireland.

Íocaíocht is ea an Sochar Breoiteachta do dhaoine nach bhfuil ar a gcumas dul ag obair de bharr breoiteachta agus a chomhlíonann na coinníollacha ranníocaíochta a bhaineann le hÁrachas Sóisialta Pá-Choibhneasa (ÁSPC). Is liúntas seachtainiúil é Liúntas Míchumais do dhaoine faoi mhíchumas atá idir 16 agus 66 bliain d'aois. Ní foláir nó go meastar go mairfidh an míchumas ar feadh bliain amháin ar a laghad. Ní mór duit dul faoi scrúdú liachta agus faoi thástáil acmhainne, agus ní mór duit a bheith i do ghnáthchónaí in Éirinn chun an liúntas a fháil. Is scéim leasa shóisialaigh atá sa Sochar Cumais Pháirtigh a ligeann duit filleadh ar obair (má tá cumas laghdaithe oibre agat) agus leanúint d'íocaíocht a fháil ón Roinn seo. Le bheith incháilithe, ní mór Sochar Breoiteachta (ar feadh 6 mhí) nó Pinsean Easláine a bheith á fháil agat faoi láthair. Tacaíochtaí le haghaidh daoine faoi mhíchumas – cur chuige níos cuimsithí. Is do dhaoine dalla agus daoine áirithe le radharc íseal atá Pinsean na nDall. Le cruthú go bhfuil radharc íseal agat nó go bhfuil tú dall, caithfidh tú a bheith cláraithe le Comhairle Náisiúnta na hÉireann do na Daill. Nó caithfidh tú tuairisc radharc súl ó radharc-lia nó speisialtóir súl a sholáthar, a shásóidh an Roinn go bhfuil tú dall nó go bhfuil radharc íseal agat. Íocaíocht is ea an Pinsean Easláine do dhaoine atá faoi éagumas buan agus nach bhfuil ar a gcumas obair a dhéanamh de bharr breoiteachta nó éagumais agus a chomhlíonann na coinníollacha ranníocaíochta a bhaineann le hÁrachas Sóisialta Pá-Choibhneasa (ÁSPC). Tá an pinsean seo incháinithe, ach ní dócha go mbeidh cáin le híoc agat más é sin an t-aon ioncam atá agat. Ón 1 Lúnasa 2014 ar aghaidh, faoin Scéim um Aisghabháil Sochar agus Cúnaimh Áirithe, tá ar chumas na Roinne luach íocaíochtaí leasa shóisialaigh áirithe a bhaineann le breoiteacht a aisghabháil ó dhámhachtainí cúitimh a íoctar le daoine mar thoradh ar éilimh i ndáil le gortuithe pearsanta. Déantar na sochair sin a aisghabháil ón gcúititheoir seachas ón duine gortaithe. Grúpa sochar atá sa Scéim um Shochair Dhíobhálacha Ceirde do dhaoine ar gortaíodh iad nó ar fágadh ar éagumas iad de bharr timpiste ag an obair nó le linn dóibh a bheith ag taisteal díreach chuig an obair nó ón obair. Anuas air sin, cuimsítear faoin scéim daoine a tholg galar mar thoradh ar an gcineál oibre a bhíonn ar siúl acu.
