Partial Capacity Benefit: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you can receive financial support while working part-time due to a disability or illness.
Partial Capacity Benefit is a payment designed to help people with a disability who are able to work part-time while still receiving some financial support.
Who it's for
This scheme is for individuals who have a disability that limits their ability to work full-time, but who are still capable of working in a part-time capacity.
What you get
You receive a regular payment that is designed to supplement your income. This support is intended to make it financially viable for you to take on part-time work without losing all of your previous assistance.
What it costs you
To qualify, you will need to undergo a medical assessment to confirm your capacity for work.
The catch to know
You cannot apply for this on its own; you must already be receiving another qualifying social welfare payment before you can receive this benefit.
How to apply
- Ensure you are already receiving a qualifying benefit.
- Arrange a medical assessment to confirm your ability to work part-time.
- Contact the Department of Social Protection to submit your application.
