If you haven't paid Class One Insurance Contributions you won't be able to claim IB but may be able to claim Income Support. This is means-tested.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -

To get IB you need to have paid enough National insurance in the last 2 years.
But income support is based on household income. If there is a working partner then they get nothing.

You cannot get IB, but may be able to get some help from means-tested benefits, depending on your circumstances:
