    Seaside: Yes it looks to me too that the age addition for Incapacity Benefit is being reduced. However, say at the moment you were getting Long-Term IB of £84.50 and then the age addition of £17.75. You'd be on £102.25 now. But from April you'd get Long-Term IB of £89.90 and then the age addition of £15.65. You'd be on £105.55 from April. So, your IB would actually go UP in total in April.
