RE: Fast track disability element
Fri 10-Sep-04 03:04 PM |
Here we are, this is from their guidance manual it doesn't actually mention the situation you mention but it certainly doesn't exclude it either, If anyone else has a contrary view I would be interested to hear it but I would have thought part of the purpose of the fast track is to give people in this situation an incentive to carry on working:
Fast-Track
A person satisfies the Fast-Track rules if:
Reg. 9(6) Case E
He or she has received for 140 days or more, with the last day of receipt falling within the preceding 56 days , any one or more of the following
Statutory Sick Pay Occupational Sick Pay Incapacity Benefit paid at the short-term lower rate Income Support paid on the grounds of incapacity for work National Insurance credits awarded on the grounds of incapacity for work and
he or she has a disability which puts them at a disadvantage in getting a job TCTM02504 and is likely to last for at least 6 months or for the rest of their life
and
their gross earnings are at least 20% less than they were before the disability began, with a minimum reduction of £15.00 (gross) per week .
Note: The 140 days (20 weeks) need not be a single continuous period, it can be made up of any periods of receipt of the benefits or credit which are separated by 8 weeks or less. Any such periods can be linked together to satisfy the 140 days (20 weeks) condition.
