§ Mr. Simon ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether those claiming incapacity benefit are entitled to the same range of other benefits as those eligible for income support. [136462]
§ Maria EaglePeople in receipt of income support, including those receiving both income support and incapacity benefit, are entitled to a range of passported help such as council tax benefit or assistance with NHS charges. For people with income marginally higher than the threshold for income support, help may still be available on the grounds of low income.
