    You should be able to claim incapacity benefit. You have to put a claim into the benefits office for smp. They will then send you a letter stating you do not qualify but they will pass on your details for incapacity. Why you can't claim directly for incapacity I don't know, silly really. I can't remember how much I recieved but it is definately worth claiming for.
