IB age additions reduced?
Thu 11-Jun-09 12:05 PM

I've only just noticed (slow on the uptake!) that IB age additions have been reduced for 2009/10. For someone under 35 it was £17.75 in 08/09 and is now paid at £15.65.
Can anyone tell me if there was a particular reason for this?

Gradual alignment with ESA which doesn't have age additions.

Age additions and IB(Y)

Talking about age additions; are they available to claimaints who receive IB under youth rules? The computer said "no" when I called JCP to query the amount of benefit paid.
