Before the introduction of employment and support allowance (ESA) on 27 October 2008 you could get incapacity benefit (IB) if you were sick/disabled and unable to work. Now most new claimants who are sick and unable to work will have to claim ESA.
Factsheet F24 - incapacity benefit is a basic introduction to incapacity benefit. You can find out more detailed information in Disability Rights UK's Disability Rights Handbook, 35th edition.
