§ Mrs. FyfeTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the intended minimum weekly income for(a) a single adult who is disabled and unable to work and (b) a single adult who is considered partially disabled but who is unable to find work. [83999]
§ Mr. BayleyIncome Support (and income based Jobseeker' s Allowance) is available to assist disabled adults who have a low income. The overall weekly amount of benefit payable will depend on the individual's circumstances, such as their age, their savings, income, the severity of their disability and so on. Our proposals for a new Disability Income Guarantee together with measures in the Welfare Reform and Pensions Bill will provide more help for disabled adults and children who need help most.
