Employment Injury Assistance (EIA) delivery – next steps: Scottish Government response - easy read

Easy read version of our response to the consultation on Employment Injury Assistance held between 30 April and 25 June 2024.

Next steps

The Scottish Government will do what the biggest number of people have asked us to do in their answers to the consultation.

Most people supported longer term changes over like-for-like delivery in the current Parliament.

We will start work on new ideas for a new benefit and make sure it is value for money and better supports people.

We will protect current payments as a priority.

We will not deliver Employment Injury Assistance in the current Parliament as originally planned.

The stakeholder group will have experts, organisations and people with lived experience who use the Industrial Injuries Scheme.
