Miners Given Go Ahead For Compensation Claims For Miners Knee
Miners Who Suffer From Osteoarthritis Of Knee Can Claim Compensation
Miners who suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee have been given the go ahead to make compensation claims. The condition is caused by long hours working underground and Miners who have worked in the mining industry in the North East for at least 10 years are now able to claim for Industrial Disablement Benefit.
This condition is one of the most common types of osteoarthritis and occurs when the cartilage which joins the thigh bone to the shin becomes worn and weakened. This leads to thickening of the bone which in turn leads to pain, inflammation, stiffness and swelling.
Former Miners have been advised to get in touch a Jobcentre Plus in their area who will be able to give them the forms which need to be completed in order to make a compensation claim.
