There are different types of Industrial Injury Benefits.
I used to get Reduced Earnings Allowance (one type of IIB). If I had carried on working at least 10 hrs per week at State Pension Age then it would have carried on. I stopped working though and it became Retirement Allowance which was a reduced figure.
I can't find anything about how long the others are paid for on Gov.UK but Turn2Us seems to think either a fixed period or for life.

These are the different types:
"The Industrial Injuries Scheme Benefits are:- Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
- Constant Attendance Allowance
- Exceptionally Severe Disablement Allowance
- Reduced Earnings Allowance
- Retirement Allowance"
"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."
