CMNT_TITLE

Article 9(3) of the Convention. Grant of benefits throughout the contingency. According to the Government’s report, benefit for temporary incapacity for work further to an industrial accident is due from the day following that of the start of the incapacity. In cases of occupational disease, however, benefit is granted to the victim only if the temporary incapacity lasts at least 15 days. In its 42nd report on the application of the European Code of Social Security the Government states in this regard that a person incapable of working in the event of sickness who does not receive benefit from the Fund for Occupational Diseases automatically comes within the scope of the sickness/invalidity insurance. The Committee requests the Government to explain whether the sickness/invalidity insurance also covers the waiting period of the first 15 days of temporary incapacity further to occupational disease.
