Answer 2

Is Incapacity Benefit Taxable

Answer 3

At the moment long term incapacity benefit is taxable as is short term at the higher rate. The lower rate of short term incapacity benefit is not taxable.

There is also some exemption for the first 28 weeks but this presumably does not apply to you.

I thought this was the position since incapacity benefit replaced invalidity benefit in 1995. If you claimed in 1992 did you receive invalidity benefit. If so then this should have continued even after incapacity was introduced.

Invalidity benefit is not taxable.
