you would be entitled to income support but as you have a partner you will have to claim job seekers allowance instead. Its the same amount.....just different rules.

as you are unable to work the DWP will want partner to claim the JSA and you to be the child carer

Industrial injury benefit is a complicated claim. Yes....you may be entitled to it but it depends on a lot of facts relating to the injury, age and earnings. DWP or CAB will give you some information on it

What are the causes of industrial injuries

Article by James Blatt

The term 'industrial injury' refers to any kind of injury that occurs in the workplace. This could be anything from a sprained ankle caused by a slippery surface, to hearing damage as a result of unprotected exposure to loud noise.

Thousands of workers suffer industrial injuries at work every year, and many of them may be entitled to make industrial injuries claims for compensation. Here are just some of the most common causes of workplace accidents:

A building site is perhaps one of the most dangerous workplaces, and the nature of construction work means that accidents happen frequently. Falls from height are responsible for a large number of serious and fatal workplace injuries, as construction workers are often required to work on roofs and other elevated locations.

Many companies require their staff to work near loud machinery, and this can cause hearing damage if the right protection is not provided. Some workers suffer permanent hearing loss as a result of exposure to loud noise, while others have to live with tinnitus - a condition which causes a constant ringing in the ears.

Retail spaces such as shops and supermarkets are often the scene of workplace accidents, due to the range of potential hazards they house. Injuries can be caused by employees slipping on wet surfaces, tripping over badly-positioned displays or by accidents involving warehouse machinery.

Companies which require their employees to carry out potentially dangerous tasks are obliged to follow strict health and safety rules. However, these measures are not always enforced and this can lead to serious accidents.

Industrial injuries frequently occur when workers are not provided with the correct safety equipment. For example, landscape gardeners should wear safety goggles at all times to prevent debris flying up and damaging their eyes, but employers do not always provide this equipment and the consequences can be severe.

A large number of personal injury solicitors specialise in cases related to industrial injuries so make sure you do your research to find a solicitor who has had experience in similar cases and one who outlines any fee arrangements from the outset.
