They may also entitle the recipient to more money
within means tested benefits (step 2) - go back and check -
and are also the key to carers being able to claim Carer’s
Allowance.
These then stack up on ‘step one and two’
benefits, so that a younger person with long term health problems
might get Severe Disablement Allowance, Income Support, Council Tax
Benefit, Housing Benefit and DLA.
An older person with a lot of savings might be on
Retirement Pension, nothing from step two, and Attendance Allowance.
Someone who has developed a mental health problem as the result of army
service may be able to claim from the War Disablement benefits scheme as
well as getting Incapacity Benefit.
You don’t HAVE to be getting any other benefit to be able
to claim from this step - many people who are in work get Disability
Living Allowance.
e.g. Sandra’s mental health difficulties began many
years ago. For a long time then she’s been on Incapacity Benefit, Income
Support, Council Tax Benefit and Disability Living Allowance.
Things have improved a bit and she’s now looking at
taking a job for four days a week in her local Mind Centre. She would
have to come off Incapacity Benefit, but might qualify for a ‘top up’ of
Working Tax Credit on top of her wages. She would still be entitled to
DLA as long as her difficulties met the qualifying conditions.
