What is Incapacity Benefit?
'''Incapacity Benefit''' was a United Kingdom [[social security]] benefit that was paid to people who were sick for more than 28 weeks. It replaced [[Invalidity Benefit]] in 1995. The government began to stop Incapacity Benefit in 2008 by stopping new people claiming it. They moved people onto [[Employment and Support Allowance]]. To get it people had to pass the All Work Test, to show that there was no work they could do. <ref>{{Cite book|title=Sick Note|last=Millward|first=Gareth|publisher=OUP|year=2022|isbn=9780192865748|location=Oxford|pages=145-153}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Social security in the United Kingdom]]
