Israel Justice Ministry Offers Aid for Work Incapacity Claims to Oct. 7 Victims
Israel's Justice Ministry is urging families of those killed on October 7th, former hostages, and their relatives to check their eligibility for disability claims due to loss of work capacity. This initiative, part of the legal aid system for victims of the October 7th attacks and the subsequent 'Swords of Iron' war, targets individuals who are not working or whose work has been reduced in the last three years due to their health condition.
The claims are for disability benefits from pension funds and are submitted online to the relevant insurance company. Individuals can apply independently or seek assistance from lawyers provided by the Justice Ministry's legal aid program. Specific digital forms are available for bereaved families and former hostages to apply for legal assistance.
