KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Incapacity Benefit
Incapacity benefit was a state welfare benefit designed to support individuals who were unable to work due to illness or disability. Introduced in 1995, it replaced earlier sickness-related benefits and provided financial assistance based on a claimant’s health condition rather than employment status. Although it has since been replaced by Employment and Support Allowance and later by Universal Credit, the term remains relevant in understanding the historical development of social security law.
