Employment and support allowance brought in

27-10-08

From today (27 October 2008) the employment and support allowance replaces incapacity benefit and income support paid on incapacity grounds for new customers (and for existing customers at a later date).

DWP has published a guide to the allowance that aims to support the work of advisers, customer representative groups and healthcare professionals.

The Disability Alliance has produced a guide and overviews of the subject to help claimants.
