This section provides for Incapacity Benefit (IB) to be reduced by 50 pence for every pound of income above £85 that a claimant has from an occupational or personal pension.
IB is usually paid only to people of working age. However, where a person under state pension age (60 for women and 65 for men) has an occupational or personal pension, this previously did not affect entitlement to IB.
