from wikipedia the free encyclopedia british social security benefit this article is about the british social security benefit for benefit payments in australia see centrelink income support was an income related benefit in the united kingdom for some people who were on a low income but had a reason for not actively seeking work claimants of income support could be entitled to certain other benefits for example housing benefit council tax reduction child benefit carer s allowance child tax credit and help with health costs a person with capital over 16 000 could not get income support and savings over 6 000 affected how much income support can be received claimants had to be between 16 and the age in which eligible for state pension work fewer than 16 hours a week and have a reason why they were not actively seeking work caring for a child under 5 years old or someone who receives a specified disability benefit lone parents edit claimants could receive income support if they are a lone parent and responsible for a child under five who is a member of their household a claimant is considered responsible for a child in any week if receiving child benefit for the child however if a claimant arranged for their child benefit to be paid to someone else for example an ex partner the claimant would still be treated as receiving the child benefit studying edit if the claimant is at school or in higher education the claimant may be able to get income support if they are looking after the claimant s own child an orphan and nobody is looking after the claimant unlikely to be able to get a job because of a severe disability not living with the claimant s parents or being supported by them not in touch with the claimant s parents separated from the claimant s parents for reasons

support claimed on grounds of sickness or disability claims for income support made before that date were transferred to esa 1 prior to this claimants could be entitled to income support if they were unable to work due to sickness and had no or reduced entitlement to incapacity benefit normally a claim for both benefits was made and the amount of incapacity benefit due was calculated according to the claimant s past national insurance contributions if too few contributions had been made for the full rate of incapacity benefit to be paid income support may have been paid to top up the amount the claimant received to income support rates parental leave edit customers were able to get income support when on unpaid statutory parental leave if when working they were getting any of the

apply from may 2019 it was only paid when the claimant was above pension credit age and their partner had not yet reached that age but they are unable to claim another benefit e g if the claimant is
