Review the eight form fields
How to read the temporary disability benefits claim
- Claim type and identity: select temporary disability benefits, then copy the worker’s legal name, resident/foreign registration number, address and contact details exactly.
- Claim period: enter only dates the worker could not work because of the approved treatment; treatment dates alone do not prove that every day belongs in this field.
- Work and income during the period: truthfully disclose any day worked, business activity and wages received. Keep payslips or employer confirmation.
- Average-wage evidence: for a first claim, KCOMWEL guidance says wage ledgers for the previous four months including the accident month and relevant 12-month bonus/annual-leave records may be requested.
- Other damages or compensation: state related payments rather than leaving a known payment out; ask the office if the categories overlap.
- Payment account: copy the bank, account number and holder from current records; confirm special protected-account handling directly.
- Attachments and signature: list evidence, read the declaration, sign only after checking every date and amount, and keep the complete signed copy.
- Submission proof: file with the KCOMWEL branch responsible for the treating medical institution through an accepted channel and save the receipt number.
Example only — do not submit: Mina K. copies her registration-card name, enters 1–30 April only after confirming she did no work, records zero wages received for that period. The example then attaches requested wage evidence, copies her own bank account, signs after review and saves the receipt. Replace every detail with your own verified facts.
