6 Application for compensation

The claim form for personal injury is available on the Kammarkollegiet website www.kammarkollegiet.se.

A claim shall be signed by both the insured and the Swedish higher education institution. In addition to this, the claimant shall do the following:

• Report the illness or withdrawal of temporary parental benefit to Kammarkollegiet at forsakring@kammarkollegiet.se no later than the day after the first day of sick leave or withdrawal of temporary parental benefit.

• Attach a Swedish certificate of sick leave for illnesses entailing a period of sick leave exceeding 7 days.

• Attach a Swedish certificate of illness for a child when temporary parental benefit is withdrawn for a period exceeding 7 days.

• In the case of care of a seriously ill child, a special doctor’s report is to be submitted with information on the diagnosis and a description of the child’s illness and treatment, as well as an indication of how much time the parents need to be with the child during the treatment.

• Attach a certificate with the stipend amount from the stipend issuer, and prove that the stipend is not being paid due to illness or parental leave.

• Details of the child’s Swedish personal identity number or date of birth and registration number.

6.1 Disbursement

Disbursement of compensation takes place around the 25th of the month after the illness or parental leave occurred, provided that the stipend is not paid for the corresponding period.¨

6.2 Reduction of stipend

The insurance shall apply when the doctoral student's stipend is reduced due to absence from studies in the case of illness or parental leave, or when the studies are extended for the same reason without the stipend being paid out during this period.

If the doctoral student is employed during the doctoral studies, compensation is only granted for the stipend that the student has lost, calculated month for month. Kammarkollegiet obtains a copy of a certificate of employment if needed.

6.3 Other insurance

This insurance policy provides compensation only to the extent that sickness benefit, parental benefit or temporary parental benefit cannot be compensated through other insurance cover.

A person entitled to compensation according to the above shall always apply for such compensation from Försäkringskassan.

6.4 Limitation period

Entitlement to compensation ceases one year after the first day of illness, parental leave or child's illness if notification has not previously been received by Kammarkollegiet.

6.5 Subrogation

To the extent Kammarkollegiet has paid compensation in an insurance case, Kammarkollegiet assumes the insured person’s rights in relation to a third party that can pay compensation.
