What help can i get when returning to work after claiming incapacity benefit?
Go to the website ‘Entitled To’ it tells you exactly what you will get but the day you start work all benefits stop, you may have to work a full month before you get a salary, and the rent and council tax usually has to be paid in advance, if you need money to live in you claim a crisis loan which has to be paid back, normally anything earned under £135 entitles you to a small rent reduction, for every job you go after there is also another 200 people going for that same job, if you are over 40 don’t even bother. My friend recently became unemployed age 46 and was told he is wasting his time looking for a job as there is non and at his age he would have no chance.
