Accident insurance council has processed 524 cases this year

The Accident Insurance Council had received 351 reports and processed 524 cases by 4 November, KVF reported. Across 2024 and 2025, it received 887 reports and processed 640 cases.

Of the 1,000 cases before the council in March 2025, 67 remain unresolved. A new council was appointed that month, and its administration has since been expanded to include a department head, three advisers and two office staff.

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing told the Finance Committee, which is reviewing the proposed 2027 budget, that the aim is to resolve cases before the deadline and deal with older cases as quickly as possible. The ministry also wants to make the administration simpler and faster.

The council has faced criticism because people have had to wait more than two years for decisions, exceeding the deadline set by law.
