benefits Advice Please

cc53

Hi,

I Just wondered if anyone could give any advice on benefits i may be entitled to as i'm really confused.

I am on long term sick and recieve Long Term incapacity benefit with Age addition, Dla higher rate mobility and lower rate care.
I have been told recently that i may be entitled to a small amount income support which in turn would open up being able to get nhs costs help and disability premium.
I remember quite a few years ago filling in income support form and being turned down because of having incapacity plus age addition but searching the internet it says i should be entitled and read about other people on incapacity,dla and income support and i'm getting really confused.
I'm not after more money as such but would be a big help if i could get help with nhs costs etc...
i'd appreciate any advice at all on this.

Many Thanks

You don't need to get income support to get help with health costs.

Thanks, Just this second found out about HC1 form for help with health costs so i'll look into that.
Would still like to know about income support and the disability premiums that go with it

You will not get income support and the disability premium because your IB is above your applicable amount.
