Old Incapacity Benefit Claim

I am curious as to how my old Incapacity benefit was calculated.I last got it in May 2013 and got £112.05 per week. I fo. Has anyone any idea how the figure was calculated? Am i correct in assuming it doesn't include any income support parts? Thanks

I'm confused why you started another thread, i already answered your question on your other thread. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/90444/esa-confusion#latest it wouldn't have included any Income Support because that has always been a separate benefit.

As i advised on your other thread IB had different rates depending on your disability and how long it was expected to last. You can see some information here. https://www.welfarerights.net/uk-benefit-guides/incapacity-benefit/

If you want to know how it was worked out then as i previously advised, you can request the information DWP hold on you between certain dates. Please see your other thread for the links.
