In case you aren't aware, the law for Incapacity Benefit is about to change.

At the end of this year it will become 'Employment and Support Allowance'
it's not exactly clear how this will change things, so be careful.

That is only for new claimants. Existing claimants will remain on Incapacity Benefit.
