If the Medical Committee claims that a work-related injury has resulted in being unfit to work, disability or decease, the insured starts receiving a monthly pension payment the day after his/her service is terminated.

If a person is receiving a monthly pension payment as a result of being unfit to work or a disability decides to return back to work, the pension payment is cancelled and he/she will once again be covered by the UAE Pension Law an 'insured individual'.

An insured is entitled to receive 100 percent of the average pension calculation salary if proof has been submitted that his/her service has been terminated due to injury, disability or death for work-related purposes. This amount is equivalent to completing 35 years of employment service, regardless of the actual number of years of service completed by the insured.

Once confirmed by the Medical Committee, an insured individual with a partial disability due to a work-related injury is entitled to receive compensation.

The amount due is based on the severity/rate (%) of his/her work-related injury and/or disability, as confirmed by the Ministry of Health and Prevention Medical committee.

Hypothetical example:
If an insured person suffered a work-related injury, which resulted in the amputation of his/her finger and the Medical Committee categorized the injury as a partial disability, the insured individual receives 40 per cent of the total disability compensation amount available, which amounts to Dh75,000.

In such cases the insured is entitled to a compensation amount based on the following calculation:
40% x Dh75,000 = Dh30,000 (one-off payment)

An insured individual is entitled to start receiving a monthly pension salary under the following conditions:

§A medical report from a governmental/public hospital is submitted to the Ministry of Health and Prevention Medical Committee within six months of the work-related injury occurrence
§The Medical Committee confirms that the work-related injury resulted in being 'unfit to work' due to a health-related condition, disability or decease

Please note: An insured is entitled to receive Dh75,000 if proof has been submitted that his/her service has been terminated due to injury, disability or death for work-related purposes.
This amount is distributed in accordance to the provisions of the inheritance regulations as per the Islamic Sharia. Additionally, the individual's eligible beneficiaries receive a monthly pension amount as per the provisions of the UAE Pension Law.
