The Social Security (Incapacity Benefit Work-focused Interviews) (Amendment) Regulations 2009
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Incapacity Benefit Work-focused Interviews) Regulations 2008 (“the principal Regulations”), which aligned the work-focused interview regime for incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance, or income support claims due to poor health (“specified benefits”) with the interview regime applying to persons entitled to Employment and Support Allowance (“ESA”). Subject to some exceptions, claims for specified benefits for periods after 26th October 2008 are treated as claims for ESA.
