Benefits Help Leaflets
posted: 05/05/2011
Many people with HIV are facing changes to benefits and to help with this THT and NAT have two updated factsheets with useful information and advice.
The first leaflet gives general advice and information about benefits when living with HIV – it is for people with HIV who are on benefits, applying for benefits or considering
taking paid work which could reduce or change the amount of benefit.
It is designed to help people find out their entitlement and how best to manage applications, reviews and appeals.
It offers online, written, interactive and phone options for getting help because different people may find different ways of getting the information helpful.
Benefits Advice for People with HIV
On Incapacity Benefit?
The second leaflet is for people already on Incapacity Benefit who will all have their claims reviewed over the next year or so. People will be reviewed and reassessed under the rules for Employment Support Allowance which replaces Incapacity Benefit.
From Incapacity Benefit to Employment Support Allowance
It makes sense to be prepared and seek help.
