Pcb back to invalidity??

prettylittlething23

just wondering if anyone has gone from partial capacity back to invalidity and how long it took.

I’m no longer able to carry on working and I have letters from two consultants saying so , I have informed the dept but no answer and I’m still getting pcb.

f you are unable to work due to illness

If you are getting Partial Capacity Benefit and you are unable to work for a period of time due to illness, you should contact the Partial Capacity Section – see ‘Where to apply’ below.

For short periods of illness (up to 8 weeks at a time), you can stay on Partial Capacity Benefit, but your weekly rate can be increased to the full Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension personal rate.

For longer periods of illness (more than 8 weeks), DSP will reassess your Partial Capacity Benefit claim and you may return to your Illness Benefit or Invalidity Pension. If you become able for work again, you can contact DSP about going back onto Partial Capacity Benefit.

Thank you for your reply, I wont be returning to work at any stage in the future, my health issues won’t allow so hopefully transferring back to invalidity won’t be an ordeal.
