What age does Long term higher rate incapacity benefit finish?
following complications arinsingwhilst on operating table plus other medical conditions I was awarded higher rate incapacity benefit, later changed to long term IB . I shall soon be 65 Does IB finish at state pension age? I have been given differing opinions...some say it does whilst others say it can continue for a period of 5 years. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Providing you reach State Retirement Age before 06/04/14, then you will remain on IB until you reach your SRA, at which time you IB will cease and you will receive your pension.
