If, after you have been awarded Disablement Benefit, you are still unfit for work, whether because of an accident or not, you can also draw Sickness Benefit. Unless you have worked and paid contributions for at least 13 weeks after the accident, however, the Disablement and Sickness Benefits together may not exceed 58s. a week plus any allowance for dependants. 55. People Entitled to Workmen's Compensation. Anyone who, on or after 5th July 1948, is entitled to weekly payments of Workmen's Compensation may claim Unemployability Supplement or Constant Attendance Allowance. 56. Death Benefit. If the accident or disease results in death, Death Benefit is payable to dependants of the dead person. A pension of 30s. a week is payable for a widow if she is over 50 or is permanently unable to support herself, or has the care of a child of the dead man. In other cases the pension payable to a widow is 20s. a week. An allowance of 7s. 6d. a week is payable for the first child under school-leaving age. Certain other dependants, such as parents, are entitled to pensions, allowances or gratuities. The amounts vary with the closeness of the relationship and the extent to which they were maintained by the deceased during his lifetime. 30
