Claiming Raynauds Disease Compensation
Unfortunately for British workers having to claim Raynauds Disease compensation is becoming more and more common with the disease affecting many people within the workplace.
What Is It?
Raynauds Disease, a vascular disorder, can affect blood flow to the fingers, toes, ears, and nose especially when exposed to temperature changes and stress.
The condition can be a by-product of hand arm vibration syndrome or HAVS.
HAVS is caused by the repetitive use of vibrating tools including power drills, chainsaws, and pneumatic drills or any other type of vibrating machine you may use at work.
When a patient is diagnosed with HAVS there is a high probability that they will also suffer from Raynauds Disease.
Patients who have Raynauds Disease may experience white or bluish fingers, or bright red fingers as well as pain, numbness or tingling feelings that come and go.
Left untreated, the condition can even cause permanent numbness to some fingers which makes intricate tasks like fastening buttons and other small tasks extremely difficult.
Once you have Raynauds Disease, you may develop these symptoms when you are at work or are exposed to temperature changes or stress.
It is important for everyone to have a safe work environment so if you have any of the symptoms of the condition and believe you may be eligible to claim Raynauds Disease Compensation what should you do?
What If I Have Raynauds Disease Because of HAVS?
This is usually a condition that is caused at work and should first be diagnosed by a doctor, or if your employer provides it, a company doctor.
You should also notify your employer in writing if you feel you have symptoms of both HAVS and Raynauds Disease.
You can also, if you belong to one, notify your union representative to help you change your work environment.
Your employer is responsible for keeping your work environment a safe place and if your do notify your employer, see a doctor, and talk to your union and nothing is done, what can you do next?
