Mr Patrick Tay Teck Guan asked the Minister for Manpower from October 2021 to June 2022, what is the number of work injury claims under the Work Injury Compensation Act that were (i) filed (ii) assessed and (iii) compensated, where the employee sustained the injury whilst working from home.

Dr Tan See Leng: From October 2021 to June 2022, 12 work injury compensation claims have been filed for injuries sustained by employees while working from home. Nine have been admitted as work injuries and two are being assessed. One claim was rejected as it was assessed not to be work-related.
