Mr. Tony Lloyd
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if employees in any occupation other than those listed in Leaflet NI207, "Occupational Deafness," are eligible for occupational deafness benefit; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Newton
Leaflet NI207 lists all occupations covered by prescribed disease A10 "occupational deafness". A person may also qualify for industrial disablement benefit if deafness is caused by an accident at work.
