What To Do If You Have No Income? benefitsaware.centralenglandlc.org.uk/what-to-do-if-you-have-no-income/Help with Benefits - New Income Form If you have your benefits stopped, such as being sanctioned, go to the council and request a Nil Income Form and fill it out. That will reinstate your housing benefit and Council Tax. It will also give you access to further help such as Utility Meter Credit, Food Vouchers and Emergency Cash Payments. The Council will only deal with you if you ask for this form specifically. The authorities such as Council and DWP will not inform you that this form is available, until you've actually asked for it. Please copy & paste or Share this with anyone you think may benefit from it. www.youknow.org.uk/information/resources/item/184-help-with-benefits-new-income-form

Regulation 4(2) of the main PIP Regulations www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/377/regulation/4"Assessment of ability to carry out activities 4.—(1) For the purposes of section 77(2) and section 78 or 79, as the case may be, of the Act, whether C has limited or severely limited ability to carry out daily living or mobility activities, as a result of C's physical or mental condition, is to be determined on the basis of an assessment. (2) C's ability to carry out an activity is to be assessed – (a)on the basis of C's ability whilst wearing or using any aid or appliance which C normally wears or uses; or (b)as if C were wearing or using any aid or appliance which C could reasonably be expected to wear or use. [F1(2A) Where C’s ability to carry out an activity is assessed, C is to be assessed as satisfying a descriptor only if C can do so— (a)safely; (b)to an acceptable standard; (c)repeatedly; and (d)within a reasonable time period.] (3) Where C has been assessed as having severely limited ability to carry out activities, C is not to be treated as also having limited ability in relation to the same activities. [F2(4) In this regulation— (a)“safely” means in a manner unlikely to cause harm to C or to another person, either during or after completion of the activity; (b)“repeatedly” means as often as the activity being assessed is reasonably required to be completed; and (c)“reasonable time period” means no more than twice as long as the maximum period that a person without a physical or mental condition which limits that person’s ability to carry out the activity in question would normally take to complete that activity.]"
