Incapacity Benefit at Jobcentre
Incapacity Benefit has now almost completely been replaced with Employment and Support Allowance. This is also the case for most claims that are being made through Jobcentre, and any new Incapacity Benefit claims will almost certainly be passed on to the ESA team. Even then, many ESA claims are being moved on to Universal Credit: it would be worth speaking to an Incapacity Benefit advisor if you feel you may be affected.
Incapacity Benefit was paid to people who were unable to work, and who had paid enough National Insurance Contributions. Since 31 January 2011, no new Incapacity claims were accepted – and all new claims were to be made through Employment and Support Allowance.
