Can people on Incapacity Benefit volunteer?
The rule that individuals in receipt of the benefit could only volunteer for 16 hours a week no longer applies. If you are in receipt of Incapacity Benefit then you can volunteer as much as you want. People often worry that starting to volunteer will automatically trigger an investigation into their need to claim Incapacity Benefit, this is not true and reassessment because an individual has started to volunteer very rarely happens.
