Half pay

Post by shrimpster »

Hi all,

Can anyone help? I have a member who is about to hit half pay. They have been told they can have their wages topped up by the state because it was a accident at work. Can anyone guide me to the correct forms they should fill in for this? I went on the work and pensions web site but had no joy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your branch has a legal and medical officer, then they should be able to answer all your queries.

the accident does need to be recorded as an industrial accident by the DWP who (in our area at least ) operate out of the job center.
If they have filled out the LS3 form get someone from branch to talk them through the next phase

I have just completed 12 months on full pay, at first they said I would drop to half pay after 6 months but because it was an AOD my union rep said I was entitled to 12 months full pay :Very Happy .
I had already reported it to DWP and they had ruled it an industrial accident, my dim just needed a copy of the letter stating so, I think they sent an e-mail to wages and all was fixed, hope this helps a little.
