Disability Pension (BBOCWWB) - Introduction
Disability Pension (BBOCWWB) is a social welfare scheme for construction labourers in Bihar who face a permanent or partial disability. The pension is managed by Bihar Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board under Labour Resources and Migrant Workers Welfare Department, Government of Bihar.
The scheme covers disabilities caused by health conditions like paralysis, leprosy, tuberculosis, or physical injuries from construction site accidents. A registered worker who becomes disabled gets a steady monthly amount plus one-time relief, so the family does not lose its only source of income. For example, a mason who loses a limb in a site accident can still support the household with this pension support.
Along with monthly pension, the scheme also gives one-time payment for serious cases of total permanent disability. The application is submitted online and the payment is sent directly to the bank account of the registered worker.
