In an interview with today’s work, the lawyer tells Ulf Lejonklou What applies and when you have the right to get money from the authority. He describes that you should contact your trade union early in the process in the event of an injury or illness to facilitate the application process for annuity. For example, if you have been involved in an accident at work, other insurance may also be relevant, and then it is an advantage to have trade representatives with control of such information.
– The agents should be happy to participate in the process. If there is a safety representative, it is good to talk about how you have had it at work. The basic rule is that if you have been on sick leave for a long time and believe it may be due to your work situation, then you should contact your trade union, says Lejonklou. You cannot decide for yourself as it is complicated medical conditions that need to be investigated, he tells the newspaper.

Should you get an annuity paid, it is then up to you to keep track of everything from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency’s conditions for payment as well as to inform them of any changes in income at least 14 days in advance. Should you not do this or in the event that you violate the authority’s terms, then you may be liable to repay and have payment claims issued.
– When the Swedish Social Insurance Agency makes decisions on annuity, they provide information and instructions. These should be read very carefully. If you get changed income, you must report it no later than 14 days and then explicitly state what compensation it is about. Then it is better to contact the Swedish Social Insurance Agency once too much, to be sure that one’s information has reached them within the time frame. And preferably report this in writing, says Lejonklou to Today’s work.
