I'm afraid I'm not familiar with "special income support".

If you are referring to Income Support, new claims are no longer possible as IS has been replaced by Universal Credit.

Hi @SusanMG6492 and a warm welcome to the community!

Like Kimi87, I am not familiar with "special income support" either but I did google it and found the below link, is this what you mean please?

Apply for a special payment if you claimed Income Support because of a disability or health condition - GOV.UK
