Incapacity Benefit / SSP at the same time.... Wed 06-Oct-04 01:15 PM
This isn't my area of knowledge, so any help gratefully received.
Simple question:
Are there circumstances where Incap can be (lawfully) payable for the same period as SSP? Is so, any (straight-forward) examples / explanations would be appreciated.

Simple answer....No, not in my experience. As I understand it SSP has to have ceased (exhausted, termination of employment) before Incap is paid. But, as always, I stand to be corrected
