Even if your accident doesn't seem serious, register the accident as an
industrial injury with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The
DWP will give you a form to fill in with the details. This will help you with any
future industrial injuries benefit claims if you develop a disability or health
problem later on because of the accident.

How to apply

An accident declaration is not a claim for benefit but will be helpful if you decide to claim benefit for your accident in the future.

If you wish to claim Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit for an accident at work you should complete a form BI100A.

If you want to have your accident declared as an industrial accident immediately and you do not need to claim benefit until later you should fill in parts Parts 1-7 of the BI 100A only.

You can get a claim form from Jobcentre Plus offices or via the internet at http://www.direct.gov.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

Best just to phone relevent department, they are usually top notch in advising you--if you have the patience to get through on the phone!

I had my accident in January and I did'nt report it until the June. It was accepted by the DWP who then declared it an Industrial Injury. So not sure what the time limit is.
