A claim for injury allowance must be submitted
to the branch of the National Insurance Institute (NII) nearest your place of
residence, within 12 months from the date of the injury, together with the
required documents. Submitting a claim past that deadline may be prejudicial to
your right to receive the allowance.
We advise you to submit a claim as soon as possible after the injury.
A person who contracted Covid-19 as a result of
exposure to an infected individual in the workplace – shall submit an injury allowance claim as prejudice
at work and not as occupational disease. Submit the referral form to the doctor at the Work Accident Department of your sick fund, and he will give you an "initial medical certificate for work injured."
