    There is an age addition for long-term Incapacity Benefit if the person was under age 45 on the first day of incapacity for work. This would only apply to people already getting IB as no one goes on to incapacity benefit now.

    There are actually 2 "age addition" premiums, one as sleepless saver states for those under 45 on the first day of incapacity, the higher premium is for those 35 and under on the first day of incapacity. Rates are shown here on page 10 of 16! Not sure if the link takes you straight there. http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/benefitrates2011.pdf
