Incapacity Benefit

Are you claiming incapacity benefit or income support as incapable of work?
Then why not join thousands of Benefits and Work members and improve your chances of getting the right decision at claim or appeal stage?

Why you should join
The system for assessing whether you are incapable of work is highly complex and, many claimants believe, deeply unfair.

Our guides ensure that you understand:

• whether you should be exempt from assessment;
• how the scoring system works;
• how to complete the incapacity for work questionnaire, box-by-box, with the most accurate and persuasive evidence;
• how to reduce the chances of having to attend a medical;
• what questions you'll be asked if you do have to have a medical;
• how the 'exceptional circumstances' rules may allow you to get incapacity benefit even if you don't score enough points;
• how to give yourself the best chance of winning an appeal if you're found capable of work.
