Income support

Income support is extra money to help people on a low income.

It is for people who don't have to sign on as unemployed.

This could be if you are:

  • Sick or disabled
  • A lone parent
  • A carer
  • Registered blind.

For further information about income support or to find out if you are entitled to it, please contact your local Jobcentre Plus or visit the Directgov website.
