Who won’t be affected?

You won’t be affected by the Benefit Cap if you qualify for Working Tax Credit, or if you get any of the following benefits:

• Disability Living Allowance;

• Personal Independence Payment (from April 2013);

• Attendance Allowance;

• Industrial Injuries Benefits (and equivalent payments as part of a war disablement pension or the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme);

• Employment and Support Allowance, if you get the support component;

• War Widow’s or War Widower’s Pension;

• Council Tax Benefit.

Council Tax Benefit is to be replaced by localised support for Council Tax. Local authorities will set up new schemes to support people in their own areas within a 10% reduced budget. This will only affect people of working age who currently receive Council Tax Benefit.
