In short

Reading time: 1 min
  • What is proposed:
    • The bill means that state personnel deployed abroad will get a new, separate act on work injuries from service during the deployment.
    • The Minister of Defence will be responsible for the cases and will get technical and administrative help from Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension, where a new unit will handle the cases.
  • Who would be affected: State personnel deployed abroad with work injuries from service during the deployment, including those with PTSD or physical injuries.
  • When: The bill has not been passed yet.

Written by AI from verbatim quotes from the source and checked by code and AI. Dates, tables and the fact box are calculated by fixed rules. Unofficial translation. Always read the original.

If the bill is passed:

  • Work injuries from service during the deployment will be handled under a new act and not under the general act on work injury insurance.
  • For PTSD, it is presumed as a starting point that there is a connection to the deployment, unless it is clear that the illness is not caused by the service.
  • The deployed person does not have to document the traumatic experiences and the connection to PTSD themselves.
  • Physically injured deployed personnel can have the costs of prostheses, including sports prostheses, covered on an ongoing basis instead of a one-off amount.
