It is possible to request the benefit through the Accident Benefit application. The accident benefit is granted to Brazilian and foreign citizens who are victims of work-related or other accidents.
The conditions for receiving this benefit are: having a declared occupational illness, having gone to the doctor within 72 hours after the accident, having suffered serious bodily injury and being unable to continue with daily activities.
Further information can be obtained through the Accident Aid application.
If you have been in an accident, it is important to know how to apply for accident assistance. The main applications for applying for accident assistance are Income Tax (IR) and Unemployment Insurance (SD).
The request for accident assistance through IR is made on the Federal Revenue page on the Internet.
The taxpayer must provide their name, CPF, full address, date and place of occurrence, type of accident, amount of actual salary earned in the month prior to the date of the request and details of the unemployment insurance contracted.
The INSS will analyze the request and decide what to do. Depending on the case, it may activate the following services:
Accident assistance: if the request is justified;
Disability retirement: if there is no way to prove the illness;
Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC): if you have access to medical assistance;
Disability benefit: if higher requirements must be met to receive accident benefit.
The request for accident assistance must be submitted within a maximum period of 60 days after the incident.
The request must be submitted within 90 days of the incident.
