INDUSTRIAL INJURIES DISABLEMENT BENEFIT

[rabthe2nd]

Do I stop getting the above allowance when I reach retirement age (65).

No you still get it, but it is taken into account for rent and council tax benefit.

Check and make sure with your DWP as it could be one of the benefits still payable after pension age BUT taken into account ie deducted from your State pension. Therefore you now get State Pension INCLUDING the IIDB not as well as. Not sure as left DWP a few yrs ago but think you should check just to be certain.

Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) carries on at the same rate at pension age and State Pension is not affected. There is another benefit called Reduced Earnings Allowance (REA) which is payable to those whose earning potential has been reduced because of an Industrial accident or a Prescribed Disease. The REA stops at pension age and is replaced by Retirement Allowance (RA), the RA is paid at a rate equal to 25% of the REA rate.
